Verizon just uppped their tiers to 10/2, 20/5, 20/20 and 50/20. They're getting FASTER, not slower.

They're kicking cable's ass and DSLR reviews here have both U-Verse and FiOS smoking cable.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20701281 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 08:12:12 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20701276 Dogfather : It depends on what you consider beating DSL's pants.

In terms of new ads, DSL's cheap prices and slower speeds, smoked cable's higher prices and faster speeds.

Billions in video revenues is a good motivation to deploy fiber and telcos couldn't do any video without rebuilding their network.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20701276 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 08:10:15 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20700677 CCNnorthcali : Most would not agree with you based on reviews here at DSLR. :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20700677 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 01:50:49 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20699501 anon : Verizon is a terrible HSI and Television provider. FiOS is a terrible technology and it is clearly showing its age quickly. FiOS was great when it launched but since then, the speeds have started to slow. If it wasn't for Cable MSOs and their contractual obligations to cities and/or counties plus added government regulation, then there would be no competition to telephony providers such as Verizon. Cable MSOs are the reason companies such as Verizon had to clean up their game and install FiOS.

Remember that silly tax by ISPs to gain revenue to build FTTH for all users? Instead Verizon pocketed the money and built a less reliable and proprietary technology.

Thats all I have to say... ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20699501 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 23:38:57 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20700191 needforspeed59 : What I meant is, I think cable was beating DSL's pants off, so Verizon does to the mats with FIOS causing cable to fight back with DOCSIS 3.0. It works both ways. Do you think Verizon would be investing billions in fiber if cable wasn't competing? There would be no motivation.

Competition breeds competition in both directions.
