Hate to say it, but FIOS is started to test investors's nerves. Hey, Verizon, MAKE SOME GOOD COMMERCIALS! They suck! Market it right. Nobody understands that techo-sh@!# so price, price, price. Ivan, get off you butt and fire the marketing staff. Also, fix that mess of a billing system. If you can't make a profit by 2010, hope they shoot holes in your golden parachute.

reply to telcolackey
I personally prefer DSL over cable for Internet (reliability/consistancy factor)
However, Cable has a better method to attract customers, without making them jump through hoops.

Eg. I'd like Uverse Internet + Phone only (VoIP). AT&T doesn't offer VoIP here except CV. I can't get CV, as DSL is on my primary line.
Also, they have different ways of 'discounting' service. AT&T will send you a 'gift card', while TWC will offer lower priced service.

Hey I like the Fios commercials with the "awesome" guy and the multi room DVR, and all of that.

The telco's will keep loosing to Cable because Cable has one thing that the telco's don't. That's footprint. Cable is all over the place, where Fios or Uverse is only in select locations. Fix that problem and then maybe start to see a change.

If Fios was available to me I would subscribe.
