Re: What?

REGARDLESS of if it drives up the price, that makes no difference, prices have still come down. 2 years ago 1.5 mbit speeds were $60 or more, AND you needed phone service. With cable you need cable TV or you pay a premium. The absolute cheapest you can get a cable internet connection for through comcast for instance, is $60. 42.95 (plus tax) for the internet, $15.00 or cable TV OR 57.95 for internet (plus tax).

First you start out talking about pricing on Verizon fios which is POTs independent.

Then you mention SBC dsl which requires a POTS line.
However you don't state the price. So your comparison is Flawed.

Then when JonR800 makes a valid comment that sbc doesn't count and you correct him by saying "We weren't discussing telephone service. We're talking about broadband price decreases"

I was surprised that you corrected him even though you still fail to see the Link between Fios and SBC and the Pots requirement that Drives up the price.

Frankly You need to stop correct people when you are not providing a valid or correct argument/statement.
Lastly i will ignore no one.
