said by Rick:said by ptrowski:Yes, to a degree. But let's face facts here. Having a fiber backbone and fiber such as Fios are two different things.
ummm...true. Cept Comcast, TW and others have far more than just "a fiber backbone".
Fiber to the node takes the fiber right into a customers neighborhood..an investment the cable co's made LONG before
Verizon made theirs.
And, if you were to look at Verizon as a whole with their limited fios rollout..and comcast as a whole with a nationwide fiber to the node network..who really has more fiber in their networks?
IMO..verizon is on the shakier ground when you consider that
and their network consists of much more DSL based hsi service than fios.
And now..Comcast is well into their d3 rollout as well.
IMO..Comcast has much more right from an advertising standpoint to claim what they do than any of the other hsi providers.
With verizon being part of the internet backbone (MCI/UUNET) and Comcast being part of it does that make any difference to argue over?
