Listen, Verizon has dumped all the money they can afford into deploying the technology, they are not going to dump much more than that for the moment, they have to please investors too. This is only a "competition" ploy for now. At least it's giving customers more incentives and innovations. If FiOS wasn't here, I do think the release date for DOCSIS 3.0 would probably be a little further out.

You are correct; my biggest beef with RF over copper is interference.
Your thoughts? |

Cablecompanies can provide high conenctions. Stop being a verizon fanboy.
Cablevision is using narad technology to provide 50/50 conenctions. They are doing testing on it now.
There is a thread in the optimum online forum with people who havce it.
This technology allows 100/100 conenctions to every home but cablevision is only doing half that.
I dont see verizon with 50/50 conenctiosn with fios. |

| You are slightly wrong.
Cablevision offers 50/50 service NOW. $199/mo 100mps is in testing.
You should also mention that CV's standard service is 15/2 ($29-50/mo, most pay $45) and offers 30/5 for $10-15/mo extra.
We have NO DOWNLOAD CAPS AT ALL - we are told to restrict our uploads bandwidth to 'spurts' of under an hour or very low rates if constant.
CV also offers web site hosting included (for better or worse) with the 30/5 service. And removes the 'hosting servers' from the TOS.

Not trying to be a Verizon fan boy. If it wasn't for the cable companies where would broadband be today? I'm a Comcast customer and I'm pleased with their service and I know it will get faster in my area. Maybe I shouldn’t say "Verizon" but FTTP and all the many possibilities along with Fiber Optic Technologies. Everyone wants more and more bandwidth. Especially me!! |

Funny , I can look out my window at the office and see them rolling FIOS fiber all the way down the road.
Guess they will stop because there is no more money going out for this ?
There is bad debt and good debt. Verizon buying lots of dark fiber is good debt. And rolling out fios is good debt as well.
Investors can leave in droves. But when the dividends come to the long term investors and they reinvest their dividends you get more for less.
I have pumped my whole 401k into Verizon and am pleased when I get my reinvestment forms every year.

I have pumped my whole 401k into Verizon and am pleased when I get my reinvestment forms every year. You're saying something that has nothing to do with my statement, so stop "trying" to be right. What I said was they will not deploy any new technology to increase the max that is available on their service now. They have spent all the money they are willing to spend DEVELOPING, not DEPLOYING (maybe you read the wrong word). Please don't deduce your own version of my post, I could care less if the trucks are behind your house now dropin cable, its still the same fiber everyone else with FiOS has.
My only concern with FiOS is the cost to deploy is so high.

| Dude first off they are developing faster systems for FIOS or didn't you get those articles yet ? Why ? Because they know in the future there will need to be upgrades.
Verizon labs are constantly working on making everything faster. Your a fool if you think any company that size will rest on what it has today.
