Re: My FIOS install

I wonder why long it will stay at 14Mbps. Do they really have the network to handle everyone at that speed? I doubt it.
Obviously they aren't going to be buying 1:1 bandwidth for all of their customers and selling it as cheap as they are, so not everyone can get 15Mbps at the exact same time.
This is how the telco model has been for decades. Just like they don't expect everyone to pick up the phone at the exact same time, they don't expect everyone to use all the bandwidth at the same time.
If there is any provider out there that has 1:1 bandwidth for all of its customers, you're looking at a soon to be dead provider, if it's not already. |
