Sharp going all LED back-lit LCD’s? Aren’t Sharp panels banned in the USA?
If you want fiber I suggest raisin bran. The other kind is much harder to get.
American’s don’t need to know science. Everybody is going to get job working for the government or live off the dole.
Then the money runs out.
I have AT&T U-verse which is fiber to the node and a copper pair from the node to the premise.
U-verse does TV, voice (via VOIP) and Internet.
The Residential Gateway (the box which translate the wire pair to TV, voice and Internet) shows that the link between the node and the RG is about 25 mbps.
I’m fairly satisfied with U-verse although the online TV guide is minimal.
I got fiber up in the wilds of the Santa Monica Mtn’s above Malibu because:
1) Lots of very important movie people live there
2) There was no cable – ever
3) Coyotes need fiber, too
4) All of the above
you want fiber?
I’ve heard that Kellog’s All-Bran has lots of fiber.
