| The picture is incomplete The article talks about "Verizon broadband customers" such as those who have DSL (which Verizon also calls HSI).
But what about customers in Verizon areas who have NO type of Verizon broadband?
My whole neighborhood is in the heart of a prosperous suburban town, and we are in the heart of town, near the town hall, post office, stores, etc.
Yet we have NO type of Verizon broadband (not even DSL) even though the phone company here has been Verizon and its predecessors for 100 years.
That's because Verizon built its "switch" several miles away, probably where land was cheaper.
So we have no new FiOS, no old FiOS, and NO DSL.
Thanks to Cablevision's Optimum, we do have internet service----
----no thanks to Verizon and their fancy TV ads. |

| don't feel bad.
there is a nice little tourist town that draws them a lot the whole year from Chicago and midwest. Galena, IL on hilly territory with countryside home rentals, ski resorts, nice downtown similar to Lincoln Park streets with shops, bars, restaurants - yet
no At&t has u-verse/dsl there, no LTE, no 3G (all area is edge), Verizon has no LTE there. |

| Re: verizon should sell their non fios markets Maybe google or some other big company will but verizons non fios areas and build a FTTP system.
As some of you may have read verizon wants to deploy LTE to non fios areas. We all know here that LTE can never replace fiber, mainly because of the latency of the system. |

| The latency may be bad, but so my cable in rural areas that runs 30+ latency. I saw Comcast in large cities or suburbs doing better pulling under 9ms.
It depends on area and how much obstruction and interference exist. If LTE pulls under 50ms with no signal loss its good for most apps. |
