Re: Non sequitur I don't read what the other stories say.. I happened to have heard it, and lived it daily, for many moons personally.. Unlike some, I don't arm chair. I know first hand the condition of the system based in St. Paul.
Why is it so difficult? .. becuase it's an opinion and one that I don't agree with. When you place the stipulations on it that you do, you're working hard to spin a theory to make it true - sorry, I just disagree.
As it's made perfectly clear, there are many systems that are NOT as reliable out there as this one. If you were going to test a product, especially one that is prone to imperfections, would you deploy it on a known reliable system? Or a state of the art piece of crap?
And, to clear things up.. no, I'm not 'simply repeating' what comcast stated back in April.. and simply becuase it was stated in an article doesn't mean it's some conspiracy.. you think perhaps that it could be a valid reason?
I think you, and others, try to hard to place Verizon in the center of a long road already have been traveled for years in a long term plan.. ie: these things have been in the works for years.. FiOS isn't the center of the communications universe. You seem to think that becuase you're in VA or in the middle of a Fios/Comcast competition game that your situation is unique OR that it's built around your area.. A customer is a customer and means nothing if they subscribe to cable, DSL, Fiber or EVEN DIAL-UP... if they aren't subscribing to your service and paying your invoice, they are fair game. Like you, I'm in the middle of a competition area too between comcast and Qwest. It's not always about who's the fastest.. it's about many things such as reliability, price, speed, services, support, reputation and many other reasons.
To think that everything revolves around Comcast and Verizon's FiOS is to be short minded. |
