"Fiber is better"
"lightening fast speeds"
"more reliable"
..all are used by verizon to say that fiber is better - which is a matter of opinion in the end.
I live in a fiber/coax system that delivers 50mb speeds over coax last mile and the results are the same as what verizon delivers.. reliable, fast internet. I've had Surewest "super" fiber service as well.. and to be honest, found it laggy for "fast fiber connection"..
And Yes, verizon does try to make out that 100mb over fiber is better than copper... see ANY Xfinity commercial. They advertise their "FIBER" server as "better" just becuase it's fiber... while fiber is a more advanced delivery medium, in the end, they're currently doing the same thing.
Karl, you know better.. they ALL advertise and they ALL work to find that fine line. |
