Re: Eventually, yes I live 70 miles west of Washington DC. Comcast has been in my neighbor hood only for the past two years. 20 years ago another Cable company was here Adelphia and when they went under (Comcast bought up at a fire sale) came in (two years ago) and ran Fiber around our whole ruarl subdivision. We now have 16mps Blast in the woods where I live.
My point to this story is that comcast has invested in upgrading the PLANT to increase revenue - MORE SPEED = The more Revenue you can capture.
Verizon - has had a Hold on this part of the world I live in for 100 + years, They choose to do nothing (in this area) for all that time so they are committed to get REVENUE from Cities first rather than from the customers who only had because they were the only show in town.
Here most of us use VOIP dropping or POTS lines fast than Verizon can get new customers.  |
