Verizon plans to allow every house they wire a full 622Mbs of bandwidth and they can increase that down the road once equipment is more mature. VDSL is a stop-gap measure as it has too many problems and as long as the telcos can find good provider content and not just 500 channels of the shopping network then I think that they will provide the cable companies with serious competition and competition is always good for the consumer. FIOS should be here before the start of fall and I can't wait to get my hands on at least the 15/2 service. MPEG 4 along with a lot of other pieces of the puzzle are coming together this fall and it promises to be an interesting time. -- Always Reach Beyond Your Grasp

Were did you hear that? I haven't heard anything about verizons future plans for FiOS. I was thinking (and praying) that after their network is fully deployed they would offer 100 Mbps up/down speeds for internet, like in japan and other countries.

If you notice, there is now a Verizon forum dedicated to just their FTTP offering (FIOS). You should follow the threads there as one of the frequent posters is a sub-contractor who is doing some of the engineering work. Another poster is involved the actual fiber installation deployment. -- Always Reach Beyond Your Grasp
