Re: My FIOS install
said by Tzale  : The thing is that ALL residential services are oversold. It just happens that this occurs in the CO for FIOS. -Tzale Agreed. It is much better to have the bottleneck at the CO rather than the cable node. If your cable node is congested with traffic, it doesn't matter what bandwidth the CO has out to the cloud. With FIOS, you compete with everyone equally, with cable, you compete with your neighbors. |

said by Tzale : said by johnsp :Realistically, you'll never see symmetrical speeds and static IP's. If this were provided, the entire revenue from commercial T1, T3 lines would collapse. Why would any company continue to pay thousands a month when the same capacity was available with residential Fios? Fios will suffer the same issues seen in cable systems, and DSL: over subscription. Hopefully the fiber transport will allow for quick upgrades as technology progresses and the price drops. The price of T1's and T3's will drastically drop over the upcoming years as FIOS becomes available to more people. The reason is because people will say "Why am I paying $1,000/month when I can get 20X more bandwidth for $200-300 (business prices not known yet)." People will SERIOUSLY consider dropping T1's if you get that much more bandwidth, is the $1,000/month REALLY worth that added protection of an SLA? For a lot of small business's I bet they will be thinking about this. If they drop the prices of T1's and T3's then the people will say hey an extra $100 or so per month for a T1 with 20X less bandwidth but a SLA might be good for me. -Tzale Residential service will always be asymmetrical, only one dynamic IP with PPPoE, and no SLA and no DNS hosting. It's the only way to keep business class service fees coming in. No provider would survive on a Fios pricing model for business class services. VZ should recoup a big savings in maintenance. One fiber cable into a location would be able to support a huge range of services rather then requiring multiple copper lines. |

The *only* reason you see a lot of 192.168.xxx.xxx IPs is because they are behind *routers*. Every router does this, as this particular Class C block is *reserved* for private LANs (the limit is a possible 64,770 devices behind this particular Class C; this is far more IPs than any home, small business, or even most large businesses, would use at any one site). The preference for this sort of IP is typical with routers and is not unique to FIOS (in fact, my own computer's IP falls in this range, with the router handling NAT (network address translation), as is normal, and I have CHSI + my own router).
So, relax. |
