Re: Let me guess. . . said by dvd536:DC is a fios area. The suburbs, yes; the city itself, not much penetration yet. However, Comcast is also the dominant (by far!) cable company in the area; unfortunately for Comcast, VZ is the ILEC.
Result - the two companies have been at loggerheads for a decade (originally due to Comcast's old non-VoIP phone business, which was largely based in apartment buildings in the suburbs of the cluster).
It could even be said that FIOS was designed as a response *to* Comcast and the threat they pose to VZ's wireline business. (Far from farfetched, that is, as in the areas that VZ is not selling to Frontier Communications, it is Comcast that is the dominant cable company; worse, it is VZ that is in Comcast's crosshairs as they continue growing their phone business.) |
