| Verizon Response We’re not surprised that Cablevision would attempt to prevent Verizon from bringing the facts about FiOS TV to the attention of consumers. The bottom line is the NAD’s study found that FiOS TV’s “picture was clearer,” that “‘you can really see the difference between cable and FiOS’ picture quality,” and – most importantly – that Verizon can make the claim of “the best TV picture, period” and “the best picture and sound you’re ever gonna get.” Rather than compete on the merits of the service we offer, Cablevision hopes to prevent consumers from getting the truth, and the fact is that Verizon FiOS offers “the best TV picture, period.” |

| Well since you brought it up how come you are not offering fios in ALL OF CABLEVISIONS SERVICE AREA.
So who cares about the FACTS when fios is being cherry picked. |

Re: Verizon Response Mr. Majortom -- As you know, Verizon is building out its FiOS system all over LI, and seeking TV franchises on a town-by-town basis. It's a complex and time-consuming initiative, but one that offers consumers something they've never had before...choice and competition. "Cherry picking" is a red herring issue drummed up by the monopoly cable companies in a desperate attempt to thwart competition and hang onto their monopolies. |

OK Mr Verizon Response, then explain why Verizon has REDLINED 90% of the Central Region and why you keep cutting our budget to subsidise the East Coast Deployments? When are you going to tell the truth to your investors that we have not hit our deployment goals, are already experiencing customer churn in FIOS, and will be forced to maintain 2 networks for the next 20+ years at an ever increasing cost? When are you going to change our corporate culture to one that values its customers and employees versus one that is more concerned about bonuses and how to protect them?
As to protecting "Monopolies", Verizon and the other RBOCs have done a pretty good job of eliminating CLEC competition by failing to maintain copperline networks properly, delaying CLEC orders, and hiding what has been occuring as well as LehmanBros/AIG/ETC hid their bogus financials. I would tell you to pull your head out of your arse and smell the coffee, but being a Verizon Employee I understand that our leadership can not even find their own arses if they tried looking for them with both of their hands. |

Um... who's got a high churn rate?:
Here are the 3rd and 2nd quarter net sub additions
for the big 8 MVPs (Cox does not publish)
In Thousands (000)
3rdQ 2ndQ
1. Verizon 233 176
2. Uverse 232 170
3. D* 156 129
4. E* (10) (25)
5. Cablevision (19) 7
6. Charter (26) (45)
7. Time Warner (31) (9)
8. Comcast (147) (138)
Those are net gains/losses for subscribers for 3rd and 2nd quarter 2008. Doesn't look to me like Verizon is the one having problems holding onto customers. |
