- jtsnow 12y agoInteresting. This looks like the same concept as the community in which I reside: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daybreak_(community) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daybreak_(community) Every home has fiber, but the bandwidth is throttled to about 12/4mbit by Century Link, which is the contracted provider. This contract expires soon, so hopefully we'll be able to negotiate better speeds.
- tedchs 12y agoYes, FTTH itself is common for greenfield developments built in the last several years. Unfortunately, as you have found, they are often operated in a way that does not capture their bandwidth potential. I suspect that in the case of Centurylink, they feel constrained by feeling like they can't sell 100 Mbps service to a FTTH customer for the same price as 10 Mbps service to xDSL customer.
