Re: Who cares
Who Cares?
Not you maybe... you will probably be happy with the fiberstrand coming in your house.
But then you get a great job offer and you move out of town. And the little old lady that buys your house has more then enough with the $19,95 DSL offer that gives her 384 kbit/s down and 128 kbit/s up because she doesn't need any more then that.
And then she finds out she can't get DSL and will have to pay $34.95 a month for FIOS internet.
Solution? Offer a "cheap" FIOS package that gives 1 Mbps down, 256 Up or something like that for those who want to go back to the cheap pricing of DSL after buying a house that is fibered up already. Not everyone needs FIOS high speed, and people certainly don't want to pay for it.
Also, even though you can hook up your regular old phones to your FIOS connected house.... can you even use dialup still?

1 edit | Of course you can. (In response to: can you even use dialup still?) You could even use dialup over Vonage if you wanted to. Of course it might be a little sketchy depending on your quality of service.
[I know you would need a broadband connection to use Vonage, in order to be able to use Dial up. I was just offering the example as a frame of reference. It doesn't matter the source of your modem's dial tone.] |
