RootDKJ Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) Nationwide Fios stoppage? Yes. They stopped at least a year ago. As it would turn out spending $1000 an install to bring fiber to the home doesn't actually result in the consumer buying enough product to consume all that bandwidth. I'd suspect they eventually lease out a good portion of the unused fibers for other opportunities. A typical cable system is theoretically around 3.5 Gbps if it were purely data (which it is, but isn't). The average person does not consume that much data yet. As they do, both cable companies and Fios are in a good position to adapt, Fios with a higher overall throughput. Don't underestimate the cable companies however. They are aware of this. Also, look to see more and more wireless infrastructure from cable companies. Edited November 15, 2013 by RootDKJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
