Re: Switching providers

FiOS is a niche product for Speed Junkies and early adopters.

By the time the masses are interested in Speeds that are offered through FiOS the MSOs will be offering comparable speeds (and still offer 24 hour tech support and sub $100 service calls)

Most customers who currently have a Broadband connection live under the rule "if it ain't broke don't fix it".

The test is to grab the customers who still use Dial Up services to connect to the Internet.

I actually met a person today who used Dial up ($21.95) and had POTS phone service ($55) just to connect to the internet, and I am sure there are thousands out there just like him.
