Dont forget Cable, they added 71% of all new broadband subscribers last year, and with fiber very expensive and time consuming (all NYC by 2014? By then, TWC will have 500mb internet itself) which just solidifys cables position, at least for the next few years. |

Verizon, make a foray into Silicon Valley. The choices here suck... I gave back my cable box 25 years ago, and I do not want to give Comcast my business now, seeing their atrocious behavior in trying to get away with capping service without telling anyone... and the famous filling seats for a FCC hearing with paid "placeholder people" just so net neutrality advocates couldn't get in.
And ATT... ay yi yi... |

There will come a time when others will have to bite the bullet and lay fiber, and well, Verizon is all ready there and doing that.
Have to love competiton |
