In today’s broadband wars, symmetrical broadband, or the same download and upload speeds, has been a weapon used by fiber based broadband providers over their cable competitors. Verizon has used it effectively with FiOS. You can now add Frontier, who has unveiled their 2Fast symmetrical broadband tier in Washington and Oregon markets. The service will eventually be available in all Frontier FiOS markets. Fiber based broadband services creates this symmetrical competitive advantage over HFC/DOCSIS based competitors, so it’s no wonder fiber providers like Verizon and Frontier are taking advantage.
