Re: Boost issues Bravo to Cablevision!
I suppose they could have simply blamed the customers on any congestion problems, enforced caps, and throttled certain protocols in an effort to delay any build-out for as long as possible. Is FiOS really this much of a threat? I thought Verizon was doomed to fail? I hear it's like a billion dollars to drag fiber to just one house, so these cable companies should just ride it out until the telcos go bankrupt and any defecting customers come back. |

| What I can tell you from having both services (Optimum Online Dec 1999 to May 2005, Verizon Fios May 1995 to present [at another residence], and currently Optimum Online since Dec 2008), is that Fios is better on almost every aspect of the connection: latency, throughput, consistency, and uptime.
Not to say Optimum Online is horrible for me. It's not. It's actually pretty darn good, but it's just not as good as Fios is, IMHO.
YMMV.
