U-verse once again significantly outsold FIOS last quarter. This is a trend that I dont expect to change. FIOS build out has stalled and U-verse continues to expand. This is a numbers game that FIOS just cant win at this point. By the end of next year ATT will have almost double the deployed area of FIOS.
Since the deployment of VDSL2, the reach of U-verse service has expanded around 1300 feet in my subdivision. I used to be the last person on the street with service at around 2200 feet. Now service is available to almost the end of the street. I have no way of knowing what caused the increase, but the vdsl2 upgrade is my guess. A few coverage gaps still exist in this subdivision, but they are finally starting to shrink.
It was also mentioned on the QTR1 2010 call that non U-verse areas were getting 10meg dsl. This implies that something better than standard adsl is being deployed to these areas. If anyone has info on this, let us know.

What is U-verse?
U-verse is AT&T's revolutionary IPTV platform capable of delivering standard and high-def television over a high-speed internet connection. U-verse utilizes both fiber-to-the-node and fiber-to-the-point technology to obtain speeds upwards of 25Mbps to the user's home. AT&T is attempting to leapfrog current cable systems by offering features like a DVR that can record up to 4 shows at a time and is programmable from any web-connected computer.
