Uverse service is not necessarily fiber service... It can be either FTTN (Fiber to the Node) or FTTP (Fiber to the Premesis.) Most areas in the United States are FTTN which is a fiber conntection to a VRAD (Video Ready Access Device) located somewhere within 3000 feet of your house. FTTP was 1st generation service which brought a fiber drop to your house but this was deemed overkill as most customers do not require those types of speeds.
In a FTTN setting, the distance of your residence to the VRAD determines which profile you receive (32mb, 25mb, or 19mb.) IMHO, a 19mb profile isn't worth having. The best you will be able to receive is 1 HD stream and 3 SD streams.
The inside and outside boxes actually indicate that you have an iNID (Intelligent Network Interface Device) which uses two conventional copper telephone pair to transmit and receive versus the standard one pair. Having said that, you are on a FTTN network and unfortunately don't have a fiber drop to your residence.
Meh. I'm still on 9.2.1 and don't plan on changing any time soon

Because not all of us have unlimited bandwidth.
Makes me wonder how many bullets I've been ducking the past few days.
You should have a backup already anyway always--nothing special about the update.Whenever you have a problem with an update, the "people who know better" tell you that you should have backed everything up before updating. Yet there is no such warning with the updates.
If people do not have unlimited Internet then do not download it then, it is that easy....
It installed fine on my intel iMac with 10.6. But on the 'ol faithful PowerBook G4 with 10.5, im repeatedly getting this

Here's what I got. If anyone wants to trade just give me a call...

you're full of _____ (insert fav word). You read the response you got, called a cable company (that takes 5 minutes of automated system to even begin to get anywhere) and posted back all in under 10 minutes?
If you even got a live person in 10 minutes from a cable company, I'll kiss your butt. And even then, they probably wouldn't have spoken a lick of english or understood you.
mine does not say that.
Yes but it is still label as Fiber.. So it is still fiber.. Also I have 3 HD steams and 2 SD streams at the same time.. So that part is wrong too.. Also I watch the person install the box and it was not a copper telephone wire but a fiber cable.. There was no copper but small white glass wires (fiber optic).. I know the difference between fiber optic cables and copper.. Also I live in a new area where they started adding it first.. So we have fiber cables in the ground...
If I'm not mistaken, that's what the mode that Macs in the Apple Stores run iTunes in, in order to prevent customers from syncing. You got that on your personal Mac?Funny, my download was about 75 MB. Not so long ago they were around 100 MB. Sounds like they're doing anti-bloat these days. ::grin::
This one also is good for both Leopard and Snow Leopard, last time I paid attention there were separate versions. Or it could just be my foggy memory, my only non-10.6 machine usually gets a semi-automatic Software Update update.

Ciao. Joel.
Wait for 10.3 and download it from your neighbour's wifi.Really?
...or maybe Apple could've just done a better job by combining 10.2/10.2.1 into one update.
