'Kiley Ranch' first community to get U-Verse, AT&T fiber
(old news - 02:12PM Monday Feb 13 2006)
tags: Video · coverage · telco
AT&T is running fiber premises in Nevada, reports Lightwave, making the 808 acre "Kiley Ranch" the first development to be targeted for the company's new suite of services. AT&T's "Project Lightspeed" network upgrade hopes to pass 18 million homes by 2008. Portions of California and Texas look like early deployment locations for U-Verse, their IPTV service. Those out of deployment range will see Homezone, a set-top box service that integrates DSL & Satellite TV.

So much for the rest of us

Those of us in BellSouth country can just forget about any fiber deployments any time soon...

Re: So much for the rest of us

well, just for the simple fact that they haven't done anything to show what their intentions are. However, they have announced that they are scaling back their plans to deploy ADSL2+ and VDSL.

Other than that, all we've heard is BS whining about Google getting a "free ride" on their networks and how BS should be getting paid from Google, to use their network.

Utter and complete rubbish, is all that we have heard from BellSouth in recent months. Now granted, I realize that just because they haven't issued a bunch of press doesn't mean they aren't doing anything, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Besides, my ISP isn't BellSouth anyway but it would be nice to know that this particular RBOC cared about it's market...all of it's market, not just the most profitable, or high income areas.

I take it then that you know all the inner workings and upgrades that BellSouth has or has not been doing. Just because you don't "see" anything happening or read press releases does not mean they are sitting on their hands. Keep in mind that companies are not obligated to give daily press briefings on each phase of their network upgrades.

Nor do I intend to presume such either...

In fact, I think I made my statement perfectly clear that "...I realize that just because they haven't issued a bunch of press doesn't mean they aren't doing anything..."

I was just stating my dissatisfaction with the current state of things here in BellSouth country.

Re: Speeds

Now that AT&T bought out SBC I am very interested in the developments of the project moving forward. But being around these parts (DSLunderground) they have been promising stuff for years.

So, I will sit patiently with the wait and see attitude.

Re: Speeds

SBC bought out AT&T, and took the AT&T name, and changed the logo. Think of it as SBC with the AT&T name and logo.

deployment has a lot to do with a state's franchise agreements, for instance, Texas eliminated the need for T to get agreements from each city, now only has to set agreements at the state level. 2 things happened as a result, T has greatly increased their IP deployment and Charter CATV has announced lower prices

Wow, makes me want to get fiber only and keep Directv for my TVs... Maybe somebody can explain me why I should be excited about IP TV. It seems to me that we're trying to solve a technical problem that does not exist. That 19 MBps is not enough to supply 4 video feeds if 2 or 3 of them will be HD, so what's the point?

It works

Save the rumors and conjecture until the product rolls out. I was skeptical at first, but have seen it working and was impressed.

Where did you get the plan details? It's great if they are really going to have 1Mbps upstream.
