Denver, CO | Yawn...another marketing battle I'm not in a position to judge FiOS (wish I could get FTTP service but I'm in Denver, the home of Qwest, so I ain't exactly holding my breath). But seriously, both companies make outrageous marketing claims and then call each other liars and cheats.
Exhibit A: Comcast asserting they have more HD "choices", a blatant attempt to avoid facing the facts that they really don't offer many HD channels compared with their competitors.
Exhibit B: Verizon taking Comcast to task for saying they off 50 Mbps service "in a few markets" while trying to claim that they offer 50 Mbps connections across the FiOS footprint, while neglecting to mention that that's just a tiny portion of the territory that Verizon covers, and that they are offloading rural areas that they have no intention of bringing FiOS to as quickly as they can.
The conclusion I draw from this article? People in marketing should never be trusted, regardless of the company they work for.
