The backend is still symmetric. It's still something like 1.25 gigs up and 2.5 gigs down. You can only beat that going to AE. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fletcher Kittredge" <fkittred () gwi net> To: "NANOG list" <nanog () nanog org> Sent: Monday, March 2, 2015 12:57:08 PM Subject: Symmetry, DSL, and all that Not a very informative discussion. Points of fact...
From Verizon's January filings regarding 2014Q4:
1. Verizon has about eight million FIOS customers. 2. "Fifty-nine percent of FiOS consumer Internet customers subscribed to data speeds of at least 50Mbps, up from 46 percent one year earlier."
From a Verizon press release last summer, all FIOS speeds are now
symmetric. http://arstechnica.com/business/2014/07/verizon-fios-finally-symmetrical-upload-speeds-boosted-to-match-download/ ADSL development proceeded the development of the consumer Internet. The original patent was filed in 1988. DSL was designed originally to deliver video in an ISDN/ATM world. For that reason, it was asymmetric. -- Fletcher Kittredge GWI 8 Pomerleau Street Biddeford, ME 04005-9457 207-602-1134
