"But VDSL will require large investment in fiber & co-axial plant, more than the upgrade investment most of the cablecos are doing today. VDSL will likely be a higher priced service for a superior service. But until then, broadband over HFC will win the hearts of residential customers."

lml,
Hope you don't mind me cutting&pasting your comments over here, but they seem tailor made for this thread also. What caught my eye above is the investment you mention that telcos have to make in, "fiber & co-axial plant.." Was this a typo? I was under the impression, they would need fiber upgrades to deploy VDSL, but where is coaxial brought in?

Now this is my extreme simplification model but, I assumed they would blast digital TV channels and data from their headend office, via fiber, to the CO's. From there it goes out to the homes via twisted copper pair.
Thanks,
MikeM(From Florida)
