Re: Canadian internet is going to shit.
said by jessegr  :Not really. Fios and Cablevision and cox are way ahead of us. Comcast is about even tho. FIOS sure, but the amount of money they're spending will come to bite them - and their customers - in the ass in a few years. Cablevision isn't any much better than what we have North of the border, as we've already got cable ISPs here with 30 and 50Mbit/s tiers, just like Cablevision.

| I think this is a case where being a megacorporation helps- Verizon has so many other businesses (a majority stake in the most profitable wireless carrier in the US, a global data network inherited from the former MCI, a still substantially profitable copper landline network) that they can handle the hit from FiOS and still keep up their dividends enough to keep the stockholders from rioting... a smaller company couldn't do that. |
