So even if you telco FIOS and TV raises rates to what cable is now or higher, your still gonna stick with them?
Which is what happens 99.99% of the time with "competition". Low rates initially until they realize that there isn't much profit at those price points.

Then rates will inch up and up until all services are within $5 of each other.

Look at cellphones for a perfect example of this. Most providers are within $5 and 50 minutes of other.
