The recently deployed AT&T fiber infrastructure for U-Verse is first class and very well built. It will handle 1Gbps+ when it needs to. But not over CAT-3 neighborhood wiring. The fact is nobody, not AT&T, Comcast, Verizon, or anyone else, is eager to deploy fiber to each home's "de-marc." It's expensive, time-consuming, and labor intensive. The last mile is a good place for municipalities to get involved, possibly under some form of revenue sharing plan with the carriers.
