Upper Marlboro, MD | Great marketing opportunity for FIOS Great marketing opportunity for Verizon here.
They need to go on a marketing blitz right now comparing Verizon to Comcast.
Comcast
1. Throttling
2. Monthly Caps
3. Slower speed
4. Congestion on nodes at night because of its shared network
Verizon
1.No throttling
2. No monthly caps
3. Fastest internet
4. Same speed 24/7
FIOS could possibly win over millions of new customers this way. BTW, all my internet problems from the past few years where recently solved when I switched from Comcast to Verizon and I have never been happier. |

| Only thing is that fios is nowhere near the coverage that Comcast has. So if you do advertise, it would only be in select markets. |

Hingham, MA | No different than their current advertising- I noticed that they've started adding a large "FiOS AVAILABLE IN SELECT AREAS ONLY" to the bottom of their ads, rather than the much smaller print that was there before. |

The amount of people that are actually impacted/care and overlay that with actual FiOS coverage and you have less than actual number that have switched today. |

Hingham, MA | That would be the point of advertising- convince people who aren't even using 5GB/month that Comcast's caps are going to hurt their internet usage. It doesn't need to be absolutely 100% factual.
But Verizon won't take advantage of this for their advertising, because as the article says they seem to like to leave every option open. |

none of the items you talk about are important to those "millions" of customers. High performance techno geeks care about things like throttling, monthly caps, speeds, etc. The ONE exception are the slowdowns.
This is a topic that more people around here, with blinders on, need to get over. The average consumer, right now, could care less about what most people here pop blood vessels over daily on this site. |
