Time Warner is going to have to invest heavily in upgrades/price cuts to keep those customers because FIOS has the potential to steal them away in droves. |

| And as they run to FIOS, freeing up bandwidth, and TWC cuts prices to keep those left, who knows, a TWC customer may end up being "the" place to be. Roll on FIOS.  |

FIOS is kicking Comcast's ass nicely in the Boston area. One of Comcast's techs who recently installed my Comcast Phone service told me he transferred down from the Boston area about one week before my install.
He said that Verizon is doing so well, the amount of routes that Comcast had available to service went from 1400 down to about 86. Comcast offered him the option to come down to Atlanta if he wanted to stay with the company.
My brother in law is also selling FIOS door to door in New Jersey. He said he signs up on average about 10 people per week (doing this part-time) who switch from Time Warner.
Comcast better take note. If Ma Bell is allowed to come back together and it is Verizon who takes over AT&T and the other Bells (Qwest?), its pretty much a done deal for Comcast and other cable ISPs. |

Don't you just love the cableco commercials where they say "telephone company internet is 5-10X" slower than cable internet! Yeah, DSL!!! What a bunch of schemers! Then they say they have "always been fiber optic, the phone company is starting to talk fiber!!," Yeah, but if you can get 100% fiber vs a HCI hybrid network, FIOS wins!
The sad thing is that there are people out there that will believe this clever advertising and actually think FIOS is 5-10X slower than the average cable connection!

Those guys make a lot of money... I heard they make a $100/commission for each triple play. I know someone who works in NJ part time doing that also.. He also tells me that most of the salesman are scam artists.. The local cable company also is sending them around trying to recapture FIOS customers. LOL.
