Sat internet access is something that makes very very very little sense. If you have power in your home, when BPL is go, you can dump the sat.

BPL is a hack at best.

Our future is in fiber. The best AT & T can manage right now is FTTN (Fiber to the Node/Neighborhood)...that's a step in the right direction.

Satellite internet is largely a last resort if you can't get anything else. The latency and the FAP policies will kill you otherwise.

AT & T just needs to follow Verizon's lead, and start deploying full fiber in their territories. Tear up the copper if you have to and sell it for scrap to help finance the fiber rollout.

i agree the future is fiber. i'm seeing it first hand and its lovely.

The nice thing is, barring huge advances in the tech at each end, the fiber itself scales real well. It's not like with copper where someone has to come up with yet another band-aid scheme.

BPL is bullshit since it still relies on copper. Fuck that.

fiber is already at 40Gig optics. I'm sure there's some faster stuff in a label somewhere , but 40Gig is already being deployed in certain sectors.

something you may not know is that some fiber is run alongside power lines

Yeah, it's easy to toss it in when they trench for power. FPL actually has a huge statewide network.
