Land O Lakes, FL | Want copper, then don't order Fios! It's as simple as that! End conversation!
Provider options go away? Well, the CLEC's resell over Verizon lines, so what's the difference? I can tell you one, another middleman in the process! Cheaper? PLEASE GMAFB!!
People want it all at the price of nothing. Go back 7 years on this board and look at the DSL and cable pricing back then...$50 for 768 DSL!! And the funny thing; PEOPLE PAID FOR IT!
Want Fios? You will lose copper. Don't want to lose it, then don't order..in fact don't even call! Save the company the call on copper!
Copper has a higher maintenance cost than fiber and most all techs know this. ALL TELCO, cable and telecomm companies know that miles and miles of fiber used for trunking and links is much more cheaper than copper. Even cheaper than the radio equipment used for point to point comm trunks!
You run a business, you want the best for it. Save overhead, increase profit. Whats wrong with that?
Here is a fact; shit ain't free!
Battery unit? WAA WAAA! Go to the Fios Forum and see what creative minds have done; from APC/UPS to the car battery cable jumper. $20 is nothing even if you have to replace the battery every 5 years. That's about a quarter a month for 5 years, so save that loose change if this is such a big issue to you! And in a power outage situation, who in the hell is going to speak 4 hours straight? Got a generator, then the problem is moot.
What if a big truck took out that copper RT? Guess what, you will not get -48VDC on that copper line until it is fixed. So, what's the deal?
Competition? Monopoly? Excuses excuses.
The future is here. As consumers, we have a choice and if we take it, it was our decision to do so.
Buy a new car and trade your ole reliable in..new car sucks after 30 days? Guess what, you ain't getting back your traded-in 4 beater! Don't want to give up the jalopy? Then, keep it and pay big for it's repair bill....
Don't want Fios? Then don't call, and DON'T ORDER IT!
Want Fios? Then get ready for a treat!
Dang! Had to let that one off!  |
