I don’t understand how upstream performance is determined in the various FTTP protocols - maybe someone could help me out? I’d also like to understand how upstream speeds affect pricing.
I have noted various symmetric offerings: the very expensive dedicated link service from the likes of AA; the likes of B4RN which are symmetric, fantastically cheap
, shared and presumably heavily contended?; and NetOmnia about which I know nothing at all.
I assume that service providers don’t want to just give everyone symmetric services because doing so would tempt business users to buy vastly cheaper residential/domestic services for no money? But I’m waiting to be told that it isn’t remotely that simple, unless you are B4RN?
