re: Cox vs ATT Uverse

AT&T U-Verse is DSL based. So by definition the closer your home is to the fiber line the better the DSL will work.

As I was saying. I am less than a block from a major fiber optic line running thru Houston, so my connection is blazing.

This may apply for you as well if what you're wife is indicating is true.

It's not really offered anywhere outside of major cities at this point. Most of BR, I think NO, Houston, etc, all will have Uverse available, and it will be fast. But that's cool that you live that close to a major trunk.

The company I work for offers a FTTH, fiber to the home, network. Fiber optic cable runs from our head end, in a trunk, to a Central Office, then fiber runs from there to pedestals, and from pedestals it's fiber to the ONT on the house.. The network is amazingly fast. Internet speeds are the same at a home as they are at the COs and at the Head End. Which is why we're about to roll out IPTV..
