Mount Airy, MD | FIOS Clearly Doesn't Need To Compete On Price
In most markets where FIOS is deployed people have literally fallen all over themselves to get it. If anything, it means the market price for FIOS is indeed too low and VZ has recognized this.

I know a couple people who moved to Fios because the triple play bundle was CHEAPER than services from Comcast. They moved because of a lower price. And they are now thinking about moving back(1 already has) because their intro deal is expiring. So, for them at least, price does matter.

Society as a whole is becoming more technical and listening to what us geeks have to say. If we are excited as hell about something, then it must be good.
This is happening to a lesser extent in my neighborhood too. North State came in and laid a GPON network down, offered faster speeds than Time Warner, at a lower price. People are gobbling it up and when I talk tech with my neighbors, they wind up switching. They are floored that they can save money and double or triple their speeds. |

I agree - If VZ can still have people lined up to switch with a slightly higher price.. then its in their best interest to raise the price a bit.
If FiOS is too low, the demand will be very high, and deployments won't be timely, and customers would be frustrated/leave anyways. |

Not in my case, I'm was waiting to see if the pricing would drop for something geared towards SOHO w/static IP. Vz still wants about 25% more that what I pay now.
If the want my business they need to walk the walk and learn what competitive pricing really means. |

this morning on my way to work i saw a verizon fios/modem router ( one of the newer ones) in my neighbors garbage , along with the equipment they attach to the house. So i guess he is back to cablevision. |
