Re: Common Sense 101

True, but they can do quadruple play (wireline, wireless. internet, TV) with the phone line going over fiber (not even really VoIP) whereasMSOs can't do that. As an added bonus, you can put VoIP on FiOS and they won't complain..and the service will work great!

For phone service FIOS reserves bandwidth using ATM for up to four voice channels, the ONT is not using IP for voice. In effect it is as if Verizon installed a Remote Terminal on the side of your home.

FIOS uses a third "color" for Video emulating traditional Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) technology used to Cable industry.

Over time Verizon may transition to a more IP centric network but focus on early roll out was emulation of conventional technology.
