Re: They said what to call it. said by Ulmo:"to describe its Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) network" (some cable co) That's what they should call it: what it is. Of course they're legally bound to call it what it is, not something else. What they're trying to get away with is lying, i.e., false advertising. Verizon is right, here, and again Verizon is right about something. Yeah they're (all) sacks of crap, but the sack of crap that Verizon is is less a sack of crap than the others. But when Comcast says "We have the largest fiber network in the country." They ARE telling the truth. All of their channels, internet traffic, and voice switching passes through the huge Comcast-owned fiber infrastructure that connects all of their systems in the country. In fact, other cable companies, including Verizon, pull channels off of that network. Any Comcast-owned cable network comes straight off of that infrastructure. Of course, Verizon would advertise that, would they?
I don't see other cable co's ads since I live in a Comcast system, so I can't comment on their ads' content. |
