said by hottboiinnc:My cable company's speeds are high. They raised their speeds and are getting ready to again with DOCSIS 3.
It's not all about speed its about who's offering the better deal.
Most people will not change just because a new speed tier is being offered by VZ. It's about being happy with who you have. If people are happy they'll pay for what they already have. You'll have people that will sign up to get the deal of that time and when it ends and they can't get another they'll be back to who they started with to get a deal from them.
But you claim the same thing everyone else on here does. Everyone will move to FiOS in your area because nobody is happy with the cable company. Well let me tell you. You're full of shit! It's only being made available NOW because VZ is tired of sharing their lines for DSL. What's going to happen when they're tired of their FiOS network and want to focus on Cellco Partnership FiOS will be left to rot for a while while they work on that.
They only have the money because of Cellco and the ever raising rates with them and their "other taxes and fees" they tack on with the landline services.
You can't say that FiOS has a better satisfaction ratings. just because they rank well in one area doesn't mean they will in another.
You're another one of those assholes on here that treats VZ and their FiOS as God. Get over it. It's nothing special. And if it was VZ would have had it out YEARS AGO back instead of sitting around waiting for cable to take their damn customers with Digital Phone like cable will still due. Why VZ's FiOS is just as high and HIGHER than cable is.
I complain about my FiOS service, albeit not nearly as much as I did with my Comcast service. Verizon subscribes less than 25% of the home/businesses that they pass. I never suggested that everyone would switch to FiOS because they all were dissatisfied with their current service. Many people are generally not happy with their service and their lack of choices, and they want something better. Just look at the hundreds of reviews on this site.
