Flower Mound, TX | Re: 1.6 Agreed. Either Verizon is not being aggressive enough, or there are actually that many people locked into contract with other carriers. | |

| said by bender  :they could be like me and just not have an hd tv to use the hd tv programming aspects. don't get me wrong i'd hop on that internet service they got in a heartbeat. Except that Verizon has more SD channels than any provider around here, and the PQ of those channels on my SD TV is astounding. You're also right about the internet service - definitely the best going. No download caps, no throttling, and no slow periods (I get 20+Meg down everytime I test it - no matter what time day or night), and totally rock solid - I've had one short outage in 3 years. | |

Most people aren't technophiles. There are people still watching analog TV from an off air antenna. They aren't going to care about FiOS and its hundreds of channels?
Most of my TV watching is on the networks (Fox, ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, MyNetwork, CW) and 24 hour news channels. Maybe occasionally Discovery and Comedy Central. Most people have similar viewing habits. In fact I don't know anyone who has time to watch all of those those channels.
I would very much like some sort of a la carte service. If FiOS offered that it would probably attract a lot of people. | |
