said by tron3:I just finished an onsite tech support job in downtown brooklyn around court st and the client had free fios 30/15 included in the rent, not bad for under 2 grand in a 1 bedroom apt, doorman building. Can't wait till it gets up to north brooklyn  How does someone get 30/15 in NY? the 30mbit tier is non-existent for residential (there was a grandfathered 30/5 before cablevision decided to do *BOOST*).. it's 10/2, 20/5, 20/20, 50/20 in NY metro... must be Verizon's version of lets make a deal..
Maybe they should revamp this to.. 15/15 (competes with 15/2), 30/30 (competes with 30/5), 50/50 (...can't touch this, oh my lawd) $40, 50, $100 (+ 25% for business--tos freebie of getting to run servers, +$5 unbundled & screw contracts, these prices sell themselves)
Their nearest competitor, Cablevision isn't gonna touch upstream speeds above 10mbits, it takes too costly of upgrades to get near the upstream limits of docsis 2.0 (node de-saturization)
Of course it's a double-edged sword.. speeds have gone up (particularly upstream) but so have the prices..
Long term contract aren't a particularly helpful thing either. With all these speed/price/term changes they have a hodge-podge of offerings.. eventually they will have to homogenize them. |
