    Why does it matter if it’s 500/500 or 1000/1000? Once the fiber is there it makes no difference. In fact, 500Mbit symmetrical is probably more expensive to deploy.

      Because the fiber isn’t there. We could achieve 500/500 on current networks without running fiber to every single home. I’m just saying it’s a good interim goal as we work towards a full fiber rollout.
