| Then we're screwed.
Kidding, kidding. Then someone else will try to roll out a high-end fiber network in muni NYC, since bandwidth is pretty cheap anyway.
Also, remember that Verizon is competing against Cablevision, who has already said they aren't going to cap. o if Verizon capped they'd lose customers in half their NYC market. That or they'd have to have dcaps in one half and no caps in the other. A messy siatuation to be sure.
Also FYI ALL TWC speed tests have had 100 Mbps for awhile now. The Austin one certainly does, and it's nowhere near DOCSIS 3 territory (nearest FiOS is in Dallas). |

Also, unlike Comcast who "plans to have 65% of their markets covered by DOCSIS 3.0 by the end of this year -- and 100% of their markets DOCSIS 3.0 enabled by the end of 2010", CV is 100% DOCSIS 3.0 Enabled RIGHT NOW (Ultra 101/15 anytime/anywhere [in their coverage area] you want to order it). |
