Re: Cable lies

What the cable companies have is a miniature version of Vzn'z backbone (fiber). But they don't have fiber to the house nor do each customer get their own strand. Theirs is still a shared network and Vzn's is not. When Comcast or any other cable co puts a fiber drop in your house then they can claim they have a fiber network. LEC's have had fiber backbones for thirty years. Who's playing catch-up?
Fact is Vzn'z bandwidth can't be touch, their voice is superior and as soon as they build up their channel lineup some more (which they have plenty of bandwidth to do so) then cable co's will be going by way of MediaCom. But hey maybe they should've left "voice" to LEC's and everything would be as it was.
Au revoir cable co's....finally!

Redlands, CA		 I'm talking about bandwidth across the network. Cable is shared.

 There's a difference between "shared" bandwidth and "segmented" bandwidth. Other users will not "take" bandwidth from another on fiber. Cable users will.
I.e.:
Cable: More users means a slow down of connectivity.
Fiber: More users means....nothing.
