AT&T DIRECTV CEO Speaks

Did anybody read that? MAX speeds of only 10MBps, with upload MAX of only 1MBps.

You certainly can't connect a whole house full of devices with that slow of speeds. I admit it beats heck out of Satellite internet, but not much else.

I can't answer the last question until the service rolls out..but yes to everything else

Juan do you know how the DVR would work with 5g? Would it be built into the 5g WIFI Router? A separate DVR that outputs to 4k over HDMI? Or would it be a cloud DVR?

They are talking about the ability to do one gig over 5G.

 

[mdram]

one gig with a 22gb limit, should take all of one minute or less to use all your data

Baby bell doesn't compete against baby bell

All of CenturyLink is not a "baby Bell" just most of that in the legacy Qwest areas. A large part of CenturyLink was CenturyTel, and Embarq which was independent non Bell territory.
CenturyLink is not overly concerned with their consumer division anyway. After the L3 acquisition goes through, consumer will amount for a little less than 25% of their business.
Wouldn't surprise me for them to spin it off, or sell it to Frontier.

What do you mean "Verizon owns a big chunk of Frontier"? Verizon has sold Frontier legacy wireline assets multiple times, but they do not own Frontier.

Frontier is a joint venture between Verizon and someone else.. Verizon is a major shareholder in Frontier..its not like Verizon wireless but similar to the deal they did in New England..with landlines

Juan what type of DVR would it be with 5g? Just like it is now? Or would they have to design something different?

probably a cloud dvr

 

[Stephen Henson]

How would the 5g work in the home? I guess you would just have a 5g Gateway and that would connect to the cloud DVR? I guess then TV's, PC's Client Boxes and Game Consoles would have 5g built into them and those wouldn't need to have Ethernet connected to them? If so would 5g being distributed in the home be reliable and the signal wouldn't break up?

Basically the same way it does at my house I have 5G Wi-Fi with my cable company
