Upper Marlboro, MD | Not sure.
I am still surprised that Verizon has not reacted by raising speeds in both Cablevision and Comcast areas that currently offer Docsis 3.0 speed that currently match or is faster than current speeds offered by Verizon. |

1 edit | So far nothing can match FiOS uploads, must not be much demand for the 50/20 service over the 20/20 service.  |

| My thoughts precisely. I'll take 20/20 for $60 (DSLX) over 22/5 for a bit more, and maybe even over 50/10 for $140 because in most cases 20 Mbps is plenty fast enough to max out the other side of a server connection for downloading a given file, and 20 Mbps uploads are just plain wonderful when you're trying to back up, move files etc.
I pity the places that can only get 5 Mbps uploads on DOCSIS 3 (Cox and Charter areas). I'll trade 10 Mbps of download for 5 Mbps of upload any day of the week. Yes, I'd rather have 5 Mbps symmetric than 15/2  |

The only reason you aren't seeing it here is because there's little to no demand for it. |

Oh boy, or is it boi? The only thing typical is your supremely biased and immature defensive attitude toward anything stated against the precious cable industry. You are probably one of the most subjectively pro-cable posters on this site.
To match FiOS, one would have to be competing in the same region. Is FiOS available in Europe? Can anyone get these 100Mbps cable upload speeds where FiOS is sold? Where is the competition? There is probably just as little demand for >50Mbps downloads as there is for 20Mbps uploads. At an equivalent cost, nothing can compare to FiOS when it comes to upload performance.
We've both been in this silly, back-and-forth, petty discourse anytime I disparage cable. It's no surprise to me that you are silent whenever I criticize Verizon's FiOS. Inevitably, the discussion always comes to a close with you saying that cable is basically the same as FTTH, and I just scoff and move on. I'm going to just move on and give you the last word, and I will be thankful that I don't have to work with, or for, a young man with such staunch and uncompromising convictions.
Yours truly,
Fanboi |
