Posted December 1, 2016 Quote The United States’ fourth largest cable provider is making a big expansion into fiber. Altice USA — the owner of Optimum, Suddenlink, and Lightpath — intends to build out fiber connections to “all” Optimum customers and “most” Suddenlink customers within five years, beginning in 2017. Quote The fiber connections are supposed to be capable of delivering internet at up to 10 Gbps. It’s not clear, or necessarily even likely, that Altice intends to offer those super-fast speeds right off the bat, but the intention seems to be offering somewhat faster speeds soon and much faster speeds down the road. Quote Altice USA CEO Dexter Goei tells The Wall Street Journal that this is being viewed as a long-term investment. “We know that there will be applications and demand for further bandwidth going forward, whether that is in two, three, four, or five years,” he said. Although there's alot to be accomplished, it still great that companies like these are stepping up and pushing the game. The pricing is going to be wary though, probably with a service like this we're looking at maybe several hundred to a few thousand dollars a month, laying infrastructure is gonna be a difficult task.

Posted December 1, 2016 10Gbit? I haven't touched 1 Gigabit, except in the lab computers at my campus. I have 1Gigabit in my neighbourhood to the apartment's link or w/e you call it that's connected by the wall outside. Just need to tear the cables inside and replace them. Too bad Bell is just plain slow in getting work done here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 1, 2016 Got 10gig here in chattanooga, too bad it adds 270 to the bill though. I'm fine with 1 gig for now. What sucks is the cable companies are fighting to keep the fiber optic providers from expanding coverage. Because they don't want anyone competing with the ogopoly the cable companies have worked to setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's because in L.I NY we only have two major providers, Optimum and Verizon.

Posted December 1, 2016 Dat feel when you have Optimum. Hopefully this hits my area (1-1.5hr north of NYC) within a couple years and is reasonably priced. Maybe tiers like 500Mbps and 1Gbps will be priced fairly well with 10Gbps in the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 1, 2016 So, internet has overtaken local network speeds. This is nice, but when is cost-effective 10Gbps home networks going to be a thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 1, 2016 Wow, just wow. You lot should count yourselves lucky! I've just moved my family to Malysia and the best I can get speed wise is 30Mb! Even when I was in the UK I could only get 38Mb and that was on BT's 'So called' fiber network (Note they class fiber as FTTC, not FTTH). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 1, 2016 Hopefully they make good on the promise. My isp promised to have 1gig rolled out in all their markets by the end of this year. So far its not looking good. i think their decision to adopt docsis 3.1 in the places that don't yet have fiber lines is what's delaying things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
