Re: Advanced Fiber Network claim

Just taking Fios into account neglects a good portion of what Cablevision's fiber network provides. If you read the news from yesterday, Verizon is trying to sell some of their backbone capacity for companies such as cell phone providers. Cablevision's fiber network carries Lightpath traffic, municipal traffic, and a vast array of other information. CV is also providing wifi access to Optimum subscribers throughout their footprint, as well as helping Comcast to provide similar service in New Jersey.

Most of this information can be easily found on this site. Do some research on other industry sites, and you will find that it IS true that Cablevision has probably the most advanced fiber network in the United States, Verizon included.

Cablevision is not a Tier-1 provider and does not ever come close to offering Sonet rings that encircle whole continents like the ones Verizon has. Verizon has probably one of, if not the most diverse networks in the word.

I completely agree with your first paragraph. But, I fail to see how showing what customers each company provides service to proves anything about the quality of the network.

If I were to build a network that could pass 100Tbps to all customers, wouldn't that make me the most advanced fiber network. If I provided service to 100 million customers with 1Mbps that does not make an advanced network. In that case, I would have the largest network. But, all of us here would agree it was not "advanced".

Please. SONET rings are not FiOS just like 18 wheelers are not commuter vehicles.
