I can tell you that my AT&T FTTC home will have no chance of getting U-verse by the end of 2009. The entire neighborhood is on fiber, but during the subdivision's initial construction the company tore out the installed copper and replaced it with fiber.
You want speed? Don't move into my subdivision. The fastest thing you can get by AT&T is 1.5x256 and no U-verse. The technology is Marconi, which got bought by someone (AFC?), which in turn got bought by someone else. Nice to have 250,000 homes on single-mode fiber in the Southeast and only make available c.2000 broadband services and c.1995 cable television.
Compete? Comcast bought Adelphia that fed this home. They offer 4, 6, and I think 8 Mbps service, VOD, VoIP, and a paltry offering of HD in cable, but they at least OFFER something along the lines of 21st century services.
