Re: Great.
said by Sean  :What's great about this is at the same time it gives them the ability to upgrade internet speed without the worry of distance anymore (fibre to the node... how far can you possible be?). Huh?
Distance is EVERYTHING! That is their achillies heel.
Fibre is extremely expensive. Relatively few people, mostly concentrated in downtown areas of large cites, are close enough to it for VDSL to be practical. It is not the sort of infrastructure upgrade that comes quickly or cheaply either. |
