They are pushing 'updates' - there will be 'casualties' (who owns old equipment /modems) so they aren't disclosing it.

I think they are being somewhat disingenuous if they're telling you it's all fiber. My terminology may be wrong, but generally they are fiber from the central office to the nodes, but then from the nodes into neighborhoods it's plain old copper. The U-Verse service has gotten better over time. Initially they WAY underestimated the number VRAD's (Video Ready Access Device) needed to make good on their claims of 4 channels at once. That level of bandwidth is only do-able within 1000 feet of a VRAD. That is linear feet of wire from the VRAD. You could potentially be 100 feet from a VRAD on a straight line basis, but because of the way the phone line travels through your neighborhood and to your house you could be 1500 feet away. Anyway, about two years ago AT&T started adding a lot more VRADs to the network. If you have a box somewhere in your neighborhood where all the phone connections come together, look and see if there is not a smaller box nearby with a electric company meter on it. If you see one, that's a VRAD.
Pretty good - my son's a gamer and he gives it a "thumbs up" - faster than the high speed Comcast I had - I hate Comcast - dropped them and told them they are way too expensive and a monopoly
I'm in Miami, in a large (434 unit) condo complex and in our neighborhood, ATT did run fiber optic cable throughout the area, but you're right, it basically stops there.
It's quasi fiber optic, is my understanding because it's fiber optic cable from their central hubs to the neighborhoods, but then copper from their boxes (outside of our buildings,) to my building and then copper inside each unit, within each building.

I have ATT U-verse service, and yes, it's all the same copper all the way up the street to the big ugly box, then fiber on from there.
Interesting read. Copper phones are no good, but copper internet is fine?!? WTF AT&T?
Chris,
You're one of the lucky ones then. I live right on the dividing line of an AT&T service area and a Verizon service area. Half a mile north of me my neighbors have Verizon and Verizon is FiOS fiber right to the house. The AT&T area I'm in was built-out 30 years ago or so and it is copper only all through the area and AT&T has no plans to bring fiber to my house. If you've got AT&T fiber to your house/building then count yourself lucky. Must fairly new construction?

I just tried to help, but you "KNOW"... btw don't be proud of your ignorance ;)

Not trying to play a know it all as I don't know sh!t.At&T U Verse was sold to me as being a fiber optic network.
Old commie provide no help whatsoever. Whether they are fiber optic or not is irrelevant to my question.

"Have you a water buffalo?"
I didn't bring the relevance of the 'delivery system' - i just heard that they are doing some kind of software push, affecting various equipment.
My DSL is fucked up - the at&t is supposedly doing "72 hr network observation" - what i expect it will end with the suggestion to upgrade my modem.
