| Time will tell... Of the nearly dozen people I know who've been faced with the decision to stay with Comcast/Cox or switch to FiOS, all of them have switched. Some for faster/better (TEHO) Internet, some for better TV picture quality. For all of them it was cheaper (only partially due to new customer special pricing).
Actually, though, speed wasn't the biggest consideration--most of them just hated Comcast (as do most people I know who are or have been Comcast customers). My sister is (finally) moving from dial-up to broadband; for her, it's cheaper to keep her Verizon landline and add FiOS 10/2 than get anything from Comcast (only by a few dollars, though).
Personally, I don't see much difference between one corporation and another: they all just want your money. FiOS is for the long-haul; DOCSIS 3.0 will barely compete. |

Hingham, MA | Ah, the hypothetical not deployed technology... The GPON system that currently exists on the side of my house can offer up to 2.4 Gbit/s in a hypothetical universe, but that doesn't mean Verizon will offer that speed to home users, for a number of good reasons. Essentially, I'll believe it when I see it. |
