AT&T U-Verse Fiber Service First Look

Fiber to the home is on the visible horizon , and it ’s even being rolled out in some area such as San Antonio . A tipster project a demo of AT&T ’s U - Verse help , which that troupe cry FTTN ( fiber to the lymph node ) , and he report that the line television service is going to be nice and quick , with channels change apace and the program template popping up without holdup .

However , the demonstration used a Tautung 80 GB set - top PVR ( pictured here ) that was woefully rudimentary , with just composite and S - Video out along with digital sound recording . But that ’s just a placeholder until the substantial determine - top box beget here , a Motorola PVR to be released for the service in September or October .

The report did n’t admit any data about the upcoming U - Verse broadband servicing , which will be offered in three tiers , Express ( 1Mbps ) , Pro ( 3Mbps ) and Elite ( 6Mbps ) , where all have upstream hurrying of 1Mb per second . Looks pretty stingy to us , especially considering how much bandwidth is possible with fibre oculus connector .

AT&T ’s not the only one jumping into the fiber fray , with Verizon tardily beginning to swan out its private-enterprise broadband service it callsFiOS . Verizon has actually stake prices for its service : if you sign up for a one - year agreement , 5Mbps service of process is $ 34.95 , 15Mbps overhaul is $ 44.95 ( both those have 2Mbps upload fastness ) and 30Mbps service ( 5Mbps upload ) is a steep $ 179.95 .

This is just the beginning , with both these services hold out tons of bandwidth on us . Fiber to the home is on its direction , closer than many of us might have think , and this is starting to look good .
