So… I was thinking about this whole AT&T U-verse profiles thing. People who live too far away from a VRAD can get pair bonding with an iNID such that they can still enjoy U-verse at full speed, right?

I can’t deny myself the pleasure to entertain the thought of AT&T doing line-bonding of fibre, since, apparently, their fibre-to-the-premises lines are limited to the 30/3.6 profile that doesn’t support their full 24/3.0 internet offering, whereas for copper customers such internet offering is readily available on a single xDSL line, isn’t it?

Please note that I think that the upload speed is important, and this line bonding would effectively double my speed (as any line bonding should), since I now only have 1.5Mbps, and I’d like to have the fastest-possible 3.0Mbps. I’m so happy AT&T offers 3.0 Mbps on U-verse, it’s my dream come true, I don’t even know what I’m going to do with so much bandwidth, LOL! Uploading a 7 megapixel picture from my Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS digital camera will only take like a blazing 5 seconds! It takes 10 seconds right now for each photo. Yeah, I know, 10 seconds is already so blazing fast (don’t even have the time to make the coffee while one picture is being uploaded), but I want the fastest possible of 5 seconds! AT&T is truly Rethink Possible if it can offer 3Mbps upload speeds to residential customers! It’s, like, higher speeds are simply not possible, are they? I mean, right?

For my part, I promise not to be a bandwidth hog; in fact, I hate those people who are hogging the internets! Pipes cannot sustain you guys, please stop and let other people enjoy the net, too! You’re not alone out here, lads and lasses, so please behave and don’t hog the pipes we all share!

As far as the incoming fibre is concerned, my apartment is pre-glassed as follows: the fibre cable comes very-very thick into my apartment, and then a fibre splitter is used to make the fibre cable very-very thin before the thin fibre cable reaches the ONT. So I think there should already be enough of the thick fibre reaching my place to support line splitting at the splitter and line bonding at the ONT, right?

Can I have the splitter split the thick fibre line into two thin ones, and then line bond the fibre at the ONT? (-: Does this make sense? (-: Would I have to have a new ONT that would support line bonding?

I trust this post is taken by AT&T with all seriousness that it deserves. AT&T customers entrust AT&T to deliver the top-notch competitive service at all levels and in all communities, and I hope this would be no exception. I live in San Jose, CA, 95126, and I trust that AT&T offers the fastest fibre internet that is theoretically possible for residential customers and with speed offerings on which anyone can always count. AT&T clearly defines the Rethink Possible motto, being such an innovator in the area, where people can finally have fibre reach out their homes ahead of the competition! I truly hope it’ll be possible to get the fastest 24/3 package with fibre line bonding!
