Not just in selected rich neighbourhoods where FIOS rules but EVERYWHERE.

That's the problem with a lot of BBR members, talking nonsense out of their behind. Rich neighborhoods? Yea, it would seem that way if you have bad credit and/or live in your parent's basement. Owning a $200,000 - $400,000 doesn't mean rich. It means you make enough money and have decent enough credit to own a house in a nice neighborhood. BBR is good at getting sheep to believe that only people that live in mansions can get FIOS. Don't throw a fit because your trailer park or run-down apartment complex is passed over for FIOS.
Another thing people like to spew is, "It's only $35 in South Korea." The average income in South Korea is $23,000 a year, it's $43,000 in here in the US. $35 a month is a lot more expensive if your salary is $23k than if it's $43k. But people here hate to think about facts, it interferes with their simple-minded fantasy of how the world works. Gas is $0.65 sents a gallon is Egypt, but in averge income is $4,000 a year. I guess to BBR South Korea sheep, that's a good trade off.
You may have something to the argument of cost comparisons around the world, however you totally miss the boat on one key issue.
