nope.

No. FiOS is all fiber controlled (FTTH) while cable companys are FTTN.

Theres a more detailed way of saying it but this is in plain english, and im just tired.

You know what gets me? Comcast is advertising their cable networks as being fiber. This is a half-truth but they are using it to make themselves look better against FIOS.

Time Warner uses fiber in their commercials too but it does not state that its fiber to the home. It just says with its 100% complete fiber optic network. or something like that. I'm sure Comcast has the same wording.

Well every cable company that offers cablemodem service has fibre in their setups but the way HFC works its limited bandwidth per node.
Verizon has a max of 32 subs on a 622/155 node, Cable on the other hand has hundreds of subs on a 38/10 node.
Don't the current modems have a 100mbit WAN port.

I know how that cable companies have HFC networks which is fiber farther into the customer more than what the bells have---even VZ since they're just now offering FTTH and in limited areas.

I'm not sure if the current modems have a 100mbit WAN port but i think they do.
