> comcast and fios are a trade off… once fios gets the user base and saturation (tv, phone, internet) of the users like comcast, it’ll level off… i’m sorry but fiber has latency and limits just like anything else… do people honestly think that comcast runs coaxle from their distribution blocks? really… fios terminates the fiber in your house, comcast terminates it at the pole… :gives:
