- abalashov 9y agoIn about the same way that cable modem service is mostly fiber. It's just coax into the home (and yes, perhaps a bit up the span as well). :-)
- joezydeco 9y agoAT&T has been very picky about where and when they deploy the DSLAMs to make UVerse happen. In a lot of cases, they run into headwinds with local municipalities regarding contracts they already have with Comcast, RCN, etc when it comes to providing television service (AT&T has argued to varying degrees of success that UVerse has nothing to do with TV). DSLAMs are also ugly boxes that have to sit in very visible and inconvenient places. For some reason in my neighborhood, UVerse exists up until about 3 blocks from my home and it goes no further. Nobody can explain why.
