said by etaadmin:is that it took Comcast exactly one month to respond to Verizon's FiOS new 300 Mbps plan. June 18, 2012 Verizon announces quantum, today July 19, 2012 Comcast announces 305 Mbps.
What a fool to think that Comcast "just" thought about this.. I'm sure Verizon was the leader in fast fiber to the home, too huh?
Try to be less narrow-sighted in your thinking. There were other companies that not only thought about fiber, but deployed it. Comcast was already blowing Verizon out of the water, so THEY responded to Comcast. All they're doing is leapfrogging each other.. nothing new. Comcast has even higher tiers in their sights.. they don't just turn them on over night, or even a month. Same thing was said about the 105 tier,.. that Comcast was just answering Verizon when in fact Comcast had been talking about a 100mb connection to the the home a few years back and have been working towards it since.
It appears that Verizon moves quicker than cable, but in fact when you have a tiny foot print compared to that of a company the size of comcast, it's a no brainer.
