FIOS is a superior technology. No modem, FIBER OPTIC to the side of your house, 622mbps (soon to be 1000-2000mbps) for every 16 to 32 users not 700 like COX has. This is a GOOD deal from COX, but remember that FIOS is still cheaper $45.95/month compared to $55. I'd take FIOS any day, but if this is the only option for you I'd spring for it in a second.
The real problem is how will COX afford to split nodes at only $55/month? 15/2 is A LOT of bandwidth for a cable network.
On that same logic, how can VZ afford the 2000 dollars per home to run FIOS? Cox already has some of the costs divested, and wont need massive field work laying new lines to each and every home. Most of the work is back office. -- Plvres crapvlas qvam gladivs
