Re: I don't get it... Are you willing to pay to upgrade this "sub-par" network? Or do you think you should get it for free?
As your blood boils, tell us your solution. I hope it's one that doesn't cost money. |

The solution is for the federal government to break the monopoly Comcast is. Anti trust regulation is designed for that. Open up the cable franchise for competition. Funny where CC has competition suddenly the service improves. Just a coincidence, of course.

Take a look at Comcast's margins...looks like people are already paying. They are certainly paying enough to fund Brian's new ivory tower and 5th Ave Apple Store inspired stairs. With their new FAP system, there is simply no justification for monthly caps. The FAP alone provides all the network management necessary to insure so-called hogs aren't adversely affecting other users.
Of course you could find a dead naked boy in Brian Roberts' trunk and the coaxial kissasses will make excuses for it. |

Verizon built a fiber network from the ground up (which cost over 20 billion), and their rates are competitive with any ISP. So, why do subscribers have to subsidise improvements to Comcast's infrastructure? |

It's important to keep in mind why Verizon dumped money into FiOS, and it wasn't to be able to deliver kick-ass Internet service. They started rolling FiOS to cash in on the triple play and deliver video services to the customer as well. The ROI for the FiOS deployment is almost entirely within their video services.
Comcast already has a triple play. |
