| '... Customer satisfied with TWC service ...' That is one big lie.
As bad as TWC saying that they have deployed fiber for more than 10 years.
Not crossing a threshold?
There are many anti-TWC websites on the Internet.
This representative of TWC is living in his employer's fantasy world. |

if you want FTTH
it will cost you to run a fiber line
about 5k to 10k
then you will have fiber from TWC |

Um, TWC HAS been deploying fiber for over 10 years.
There is plenty of crap to go around on both sides. Verizon is implying "our service is fiber" as to insinuate that the other providers don't use fiber which is not necessarily true.
TWC is saying they deploy fiber which is true. Their fiber runs to the node and concerts to coax for the last 1,000 feet.
Also, there are plenty of anti-NameTheProvider sites out there. For every provider, there is a group of people that hate them. (ie: comcastsuck, verizonsucks, etc) |

Pittsburgh, PA | said by fiberguy:Um, TWC HAS been deploying fiber for over 10 years. And the telcos have had major fiber deployments since the 1970s. So where is the innovation? Verizon is advertising their FiOS as having fiber that the cablecos don't have. There is no time in a 30 second commercial to explain all the complexities of how the systems work. Not perfect, but certainly more fair than implying that your network is built exactly the same as your competitors when it's not. If your network can do the same things, then sell those benefits. |

| Easy FiOS commercial:
1. With FiOS we run a superfast fiber optic connection to your house.
2. With cable, they run a fiber connection too...maybe...to 1,000 or more feet away! *sad trombone*
3. You share that FiOS connection with a few hundred people, so sometimes it gets very sloooow.
4. With Verizon, you share a connection, but it's with just 32 people, and that connection is over 16 times the speed of cable!
5. So what do you want? Fiber waaaaay over there, or fiber right here, from the nation's most reliable network?
That should fit into a 30 second ad. If not, definitely a 60 second one. Billing issues, yes, but I'd rather spend time on the phone correcting the bill for 20 mbps symmetric than paying about the same price per month, with a call every once in awhile, for 8/2 service. now if I was looking at an ncapped cable cnnection (like OOL's Boost) I might stick around lnger on cable, but the crap that current cable customers in most places have to put up with just doesn't cut it. |

Calling at least once a month, every month, would get old very fast...like after the first month. I despise dealing with billing problems. |

I think you messed up on #3  and I don't know why Verizon doesn't come out with commercials like that =/. |

here's the thing..
Commercials are designed to reach a broad group of people, ie: broadcasting. I hear what you're saying in your post, but I'm going to counter you. The fact that WE are even here talking is pointless. Verizon has reached you. you KNOW about Verizon and FiOS already. You also know what you need to about Cable service, right?
... job done. You are no longer necessary to either of them until and unless you purchase. The fact that you know about their technology, this particular ad has served it's purpose to you.
With that, there really is no need to discuss. Consumers will purchase a service on more than one item alone. You could pump out 1gb sym service and it won't open the flood gates of customers to your phone banks. Different strokes for different folks. Some of the things people care about are:
.. Customer service
.. Established relationships
.. Product offerings
.. Reliability
.. Billing issues
.. The name of the provider itself
.. Ease of dealing with a company
.. Trust
.. Perceived value
.. Technology offered
.. Price
... and none in any particular order. I'm sure there are many more reasons too.
And HOW they should advertise.. there is never a one size ad fits all. All a commercial is designed to do is grab someone's attention in order to generate a phone call to the customer service lines, or a hit to their website. Likewise, some people here still believe that a commercial is also designed to tell the entire story of what the service is going to give you.. 30 seconds or 60 seconds is not enough... in fact, I don't think a 30 minute info-mercial would work. I mean in that case, you'd have all commercials sounding like these designer drugs.. the announcer would say the name of the drug, some happy smiles, and the rest would be an announcer reading the TOS to some happy music to make it sound good. |

An hour on the phone for a 150% increase in download speed and a 900% increase in uploa speed is a small price to pay. But that's me...a person who would only be subscribing to internet services, so there isn't much to get wrong on the bill . Then again, I've had good luck with Sprint  |

kudos:3 | I'll take my word over it any day over your POC statements. You are so full of yourself it's not even funny.
First off, if you knew ANYTHING about what was being talked about, you'd crawl back into your hole and STFU.
For ANY advanced cable system to work today, the entire system is at least a hybrid fiber/coax system.
Second, no where in the advertisement does TWC say they run fiber to the home.
So, with that, why don't you take your head and put it back up your place where you grow mushrooms.. troll. |
