Having said all that, has anyone else noticed that Verizon has been pushing symmetric bandwidth in their new FIOS plans? Not sure how well it's working though - a lot of the early deployment is BPON, which tops out at 155Mbps for uploads - theoretically, I have 25/25 service, but I've occasionally seen my uploads fall to 100kbps (yes that's a k). Highly intermittent though - Verizon's techs have been having lots of fun trying to track things down.
And this is one of the reasons I think xPON is still the wrong way to go, if the industry feels symmetry is worth a dime. But, admittedly, that's just me... Mark.
