No brainer, but if Verizon thinks this is a 10-year ROI or something, think again.
Cable has enough bandwidth to satisfy any residential / home-office use for the forseeable future. Heck, phone companies can now cram 3 or 4 high-def video feeds onto ADSL; cable isn't even using any enhanced techniques to better utilize the bandwidth.
Reliability is a different issue, but that's a political/investment concern and not a technological one. Cable can be made more reliable with existing technology.
But I completely agree. 15 years from now, cable will be like a 14.4 modem, and fiber will look like 56k. - Posted by: croberts Posted on: 08/19/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
