at least in my city roadrunner is $45 for 5000/384 and verizon FIOS will be $40 for 5000/2000 you tell me which is cheaper... faster... and more reliable. i think that we all know the answer if we had COX i am sure the same would be true. vz costing $50 for 15000/2000. Cox costing ?? i would guess around the same price but probably with slower speeds(actual throughput, and probably upload being slower too). and to have the latest technology available out there right now. what would u choose. i know its FIOS if you do say otherwise your need to think again.
My point exactly. Ping times, reliablity, consistent speeds, no specific usage limits in TOS (standard legal stuff still there of course), no record of throttling or capping even for servers are all strengths to verizon. Anyone that understands the tech can see that. However for fios to be profitable verizon needs to get the average Joe to buy fios, and that is where the cable companies, "same speeed, no digging" adds hurt verizon.
