With all the newer apartment and office complexes interconnected by fiber and generally funded by their own management, I am surprised AT&T doesn't pursue tieing into these systems or look for complexes like these that are already U-verse ready. I am currently living in an apartment complex that has a dormant and unused interconnected ethernet distribution system with all buildings linked together by fiber. This would be perfect since AT&T currently offers no high-speed anything there and the dominant TV and internet carrier is the cable company.

at&t is not offering uverse (the tv part of the service) to FTTP/FTTH customers and internet speeds are the same 1/1 ~ 6/1

I don't see anything in that post that says they don't offer Uverse TV to FTTP customers...and thats kind of funny because my entire neighboorhood is on a FTTP backbone and myself and multiple neighbors have Uverse TV.

 



I have no patience for the lazy and complacent society that we have become. Make an effort to fix it, or don't complain.

hmm, I was under the impression that FTTP/FTTH customers didn't have TV... are you ABSOLUTELY sure you are on FTTP?

Yes, I was told that our entire neighboorhood is by the tech who originally installed my ATT DSL and stuff last summer. He was moving into my neighboorhood the next month and had already checked everything out. My father has worked for (SBC) ATT for 35 years now and also verified this in his computer system. I don't know why FTTP wouldn't have TV, to me, it would be an even easier install and everything as opposed to FTTN.

This is really cool... I wish you could post some pictures of your neigborhood pedestals and of your NID or where your fiber terminates.

Well my dad will be over this weekend for a birthday party so maybe I can get him to show me more than I know about it. I know where some of the pedestals and stuff are, but other than that. I don't know much about the outside hardware. Do you have pictures of what they should look like? Then maybe I can look for the same here.

UVERSE Tv is being rolled into FTTP neighborhoods every day.  It is slow going as they have to upgrade the equiptment in the C.O. for the FTTP customers.  They are basically doing one city at a time.
