Re: Time Warners claim is 100% accurate.....
network doesnt have to have fiber to their door. The ad states that TWC has more fiber- does not state anything about going to the door. They're entire nationwide backbone all the way up to the neighborhoods are fiber optic. which is truth in advertising. VZ didnt start this until a few years ago- and then did it wall the way. |

About 10 years ago, having a all-fiber nationwide backbone was a big deal (think @Home) but it's 2008 and everyone rides fiber backbones, just not necessarily owned by their provider. The mis-information here is how accessible is that fiber. The average college kid would love a bargain on a keg of beer, but how do you think he/she would feel if you told them they had to drink it through a stirrer straw? |

But the reason for TW to advertise their "fiber" network is to try to compare to FIOS.
Yes, they may have fiber in their system, but then again you can not compare TWs fiber to FIOS.

TWC does not say they're system is direct to the door. Just says they have a fiber optic network. Thats the thing. They are well within their rights to say they have it. They just don't say how much of it is. But its only maybe a few hundred feet thats not fiber.
But on another note VZ is just pissed at TWC about their Digital phone and other services |

My whole rant here is they are misleading people to think that they have **FIBER** like Verizon does, when in fact, they DONT.

Cleveland, OH | they're not misleading because they don't state how far the fiber goes into their network. And out of VZ's footprint how much of it is actually FTTH?
TWC has MORE Fiber in their network than VZ |
