Re: The other MSO's

said by Bit See Profile :

I would venture to guess that Verizon is losing way more POTS subs to cable than they're getting video subs from cable.
I don't know why that would be. When I think of cable I don't see any decisive positives with Voice service whereas I see over 100HD channels starring me in the face when I compare Cable TV vs. Fios. Plus most people don't mix services, so TV service should win out over voice service one would think.

(yeah yeah I know TW has 100 in NYC but as a whole cable HD is sorely lacking)

Nuff said.

Cleveland, OH		 you can't compare cable as a whole to VZ's HD line up. That's just crazy and comparing Apples to Oranges. You have to compare provider to provider. Not Industry to Provider.

Why are people dropping POTS? POTS' high price along with viable VoIP and cellular competitors. »Verizon To Offer $5 Landline Service Price is why I ditched my POTS service.

We just had a news item this week already claiming Comcast to be the 3rd largest telephone service provider behind Verizon and AT&T while the incumbent telcos continue to lose voice customers.

Cable vs FiOS comparisons differ by market but IMO DBS smokes them both in terms of HD offerings and there is no 'mad rush' to DBS...so people aren't buying in droves based on how many HD channels they get. They buy on promos (eg double+triple play deals). Price is king, not how many HD filler channels you get.
