Re: 19K Video Subs Lost Cablevision is the only cableco I can think of who actually competes with FiOS on internet speed relative to price. They have had DOCSIS 2 for quite some time and their 30+/5 tier, so long as those speeds are maintained, should fend off FioS' speed offerings. For people who want to pay less, 15/2 is available on CV for the price of 10/2 (maybe slightly more, but not much more) on FiOS.
Of course, if service quality is poor and\or FiOS service quality is phenomenal (TV picture quality comes to mind) FiOS will win customers. Otherwise, Cablevision has a nice position, and with the DOCSIS 3 rollout could pump their $60 tier up to 50/10, and their lower-end tier to 20/5, and force FiOS to really go crazy with their GPON offering. I'll bet that by the end of next year FiOS will have a 100 Mbps tier in CV areas, which will e DOCSIS 3. If not, maybe Verizon will give significantly discounted LTE services for FiOS customers. Either way, sounds good to me. |
