Re: I remember when Comcast did the same thing.....
You're correct, Verizon doesn't offer 100 Mbps FiOS because they don't see a need to. They figure that the $300 setup fee will be enough to scare away customers that they want from Cablevision. Also, personally I'll take the extra 5 Mbps up over the extra 50 Mbps down at this point.
I think that when Comcast goes national with 100/15 business ervice you'll see 100 Mbps FiOS get deployed. They've already done trials at employee residences, so the tech is definitely there to match and raise what cablecos have to offer.
Fios, from what I understand, being a FTTH product is capable of far more speed than is known at this point. if verizon would just plan strong buildouts they could muscle cable co's but i see verizon as kind of weak in this field from a business standpoint.
