Re: [HD] NEW HD Channels when ???

said by TitusTroy:

I thought FiOS was supposed to be the most advanced fiber optic network!!...it's the reason why I switched from RCN 6 months ago...the old FiOS would have gotten MPEG4 up and running already...are they declining in quality that much?

Their focus is on the bottom line. HD channels don't increase subscriber rates. Things like ipad apps and such probably do more.

I can't find a source ATM, but It would be about at 40-50% reduction in bandwidth,depending on source. Ex: 16mbps vs 8mbps

I think the savings would be even more than that.
