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.
