Re: gee, ya think... said by ITALIAN926:nope, no, nope, no, nope. Verizon is adding 300,000 video subs every quarter and you guys think this isnt affecting Comcast. Obviously you all have tons of common sense. I guess they arent affecting ANY cable company in this matter. :rolleyes: Apparently you must live a different universe. In this universe ISPs hold a tight monopoly over an area. I would love to get Verizon FiOS, but I can't because of my Comopoly. I really doubt that Verizon is deploying FiOS in the same areas as Comcast. In fact I believe they can't due to specific agreements with different towns. And yes, you are right, common sense tells us this really isn't affecting any ISP as of yet due to the monopoly/duopolies that ISPs hold over an area. Sure, it makes customers think about buying a service, and due the economy if they know that another ISP exists out there that is better then they make hold out until the better ISP comes around if they don't already have HSI.
Btw, you don't have to repeat yourself, we can hear you loud and clear the first time  . |

Interesting, but I think that generally they wont start competition. In any case, I still consider the different ISPs a monopoly because they don't line share like with telecos. I can go where ever I want for phone or DSL service, but broadband over coax? Or broadband over fiber? I can dream can't I? |
