Re: Fuzzy Math
said by malvado6  :What ridiculous calculations. I was the first home out of my CO to be wired for FiOS. I don't know how many homes were passed at the time the service went available (let's go with the magic 400). So by this clown's math, my home cost $360,950 to wire. Whatever. Verizon has only hit the tip of the iceberg on their deployment. using these numbers, technically, that's correct.
So if Verizon spends $400k to wire a neighborhood of 400 homes and you're the only guy on the block who signed up, it cost them $400,650 to get your business including hookup. |

Richmond, VA | What about existing DSL users?
If Verizon already has 25% DSL penetration in this neighborhood (picking a number out of my ass, the same way the author of this study did), don't Verizon have a captive audience that is eager to jump to FIOS? Just asking. |
