Re: Not sure why it took them so long

I think the billions and billions it would cost might be why Verizon stopped running Fiber to the home....

Verizon now runs Coaxial to the home just as Comcast does....

take notice their commericals dont broadcast fiber to the home anymore because there isn't a need to take it that far....

you would still need to convert to coax one way or the other

The problem was that of the signal strength was far too strong causing the tuners in the boxes to tile...

everyone wants more and more signal... but there is a threshold of -10 to +10 dbmv.... if you exceed this either way the picture quaility falls

Where did you get the idea that Verizon FIOS is using a coaxial drop vs a fiber drop? Inside wiring AFAIK has always connected to the existing coaxial when possible or new coaxial is run inside the premises for their television product.

LOL. Coming from a Comcast.com account, your view would be a little bias wouldn't it. Verizon still runs fiber to the house, they just use the existing coax that's INSIDE the house. Nice try though.

Re: Not sure why it took them so long

That's interesting! I have uverse and am not using any coax. Everything in the house is connected with cat5 wire.
