| Reactionary Response Verizon has already won in making fiber look like "a good thing."
Comcast does the same thing here. Their ads explain how your TV, voice and data all go through Comcast's "enhanced fiber optic network."

| Re: Can't get it Yeah, it would be awesome.
If Verizon would get off their collective asses and string some fiber.
Two years ago, my town signed a franchise agreement with Verizon. Half the town is wired, the other half isn't.
It's bullshit. I see half the ghettos of Wilmington set up for Fios, and I can't get Fios surrounded by half million dollar houses.
I say Verizon is redlining us on time bill paying, nice home owning people.
Blatant discrimination....

| Re: Cable lies What the cable companies have is a miniature version of Vzn'z backbone (fiber). But they don't have fiber to the house nor do each customer get their own strand. Theirs is still a shared network and Vzn's is not. When Comcast or any other cable co puts a fiber drop in your house then they can claim they have a fiber network. LEC's have had fiber backbones for thirty years. Who's playing catch-up?
Fact is Vzn'z bandwidth can't be touch, their voice is superior and as soon as they build up their channel lineup some more (which they have plenty of bandwidth to do so) then cable co's will be going by way of MediaCom. But hey maybe they should've left "voice" to LEC's and everything would be as it was.
Au revoir cable co's....finally! | |

| Re: Cable lies There's a difference between "shared" bandwidth and "segmented" bandwidth. Other users will not "take" bandwidth from another on fiber. Cable users will.
I.e.:
Cable: More users means a slow down of connectivity.
Fiber: More users means....nothing. | |

| When you are doing something right, haters come out! Verizon is obviously on to something that is making cable companies a little nervous.
If Ma Bell completely merge back together, I would hope it is Verizon's technology leadership that is implemented and not AT&T's.

Last time I used a Road Runner internet connection (in Jan 2008), it was coaxial to the home. I prefer FTTH and not CTTH.

1 edit | Downloaded the Ad - Why Distribute Via Skinney Pipe? I've got FiOS, and I just tried to download the video (instead of streaming it). I filled out the brief form (no problem), and commenced the download. Why provide the file on a server/pipe that shows obvious bandwidth limitations? My transfer topped out at about 1 MB/sec. Not a smart method of distribution. IMHO. | |

| Yeah, he's a game changer I don't see how rehashing 80s cartoons into CGI-driven movies makes anyone a game changer, any more so than taking the name Knight Rider and changing everything else about it makes it new & fresh. It takes zero talent to redo what has already been done. The design of today's "retro" vehicles shows that too - no imagination, just regurgitation of what was new 30 years ago. One look at abomination that was called the Dukes of Hazzard movie is enough proof of how bad it is.
This guy can plan his entire career just by watching the Boomerang Network during the day. It won't be long until we see live-action Jabberjaw starring today's hottest comedians. They've already warned us CGI-animated Smurfs are coming, not to mention a sad take on the neglected Thundercats franchise. Need we remind Hollywood that nobody has done an A-Team movie yet? They could use a cast of unknowns, tie in the marketing with a GM SUV, and it's make millions.
Michael Bay is a disgrace to my avatar -- which I've used for far longer than the latest movie's craze.

| Re: Yeah, he's a game changer He is not stupid though. He observes that the majority of movie go-ers have no taste, imagination, or desire to think; then he devises a movie making model to encourage them to throw as much money at him as is humanly possible.
Or maybe Im being too optimistic and he just happens to *be* one of those movie go-ers that stepped onto the other side of the camera  | |

| Re: Yeah, he's a game changer I think the movie industry in recent years is at the lowest point of all time. Rambo 7; Rocky 15; Mission Impossible 3; Die Hard whatever number; terrible Supermans; Batman. Is there a new Terminator coming? Im sure there will be soon.
I get excited over about three movies a year these days. And I end up at least mildly let down by one or two. | |

| Dumb Hmm, I recall Michael Bay professing how HD-DVD will be the ultimate delivery for movies, yet somehow Blu-Ray is winning out.
A movie-director is a bad choice for a role model. Matter of fact ANYONE from Hollywood is a bad choice. Well, except for James Earl Jones...that voice is perfect (for an empire). | |
