[QUOTE="atoz350, post: 4574410, member: 567484"] I wish this guy knew what he was talkng about. You do realize that Verizon FiOS uses the same coax that Comcast uses once its in the house right? And the phone is not VOIP. Comcast uses its own backbone and switches to control public telephony just like Verizon. They just transmit it over a coaxial medium instead of the twisted pair that Verizon uses. Coaxial offers better shielding = less noise, better quality sound. I wonder if you realize that Verizon is using the same technology now since switching to FiOS? And your 100mbps d/l speeds are scheduled 4 years out. It seems you need to do more research on your own company. Don't get me wrong, FiOS is great, but its technology is already 30 years old and the cable companies have already perfected it. Read up a little on how Verizon is losing money because they overspent on building a new infrastructure, but are not reaping the benefits of new customers. It happened to AT&T when they built the same plant 25 years ago. BTW Comcast DOES have a 50mpbs plan. They also have a 200mbps plan in the works. [/QUOTE]
