Have you seen the recent TV ad from Comcast making fun of Verizon FiOS and claimed the cable TV company (Comcast) has a larger fiber-optic network? I bet you have. Well how true this claim is, you wonder? And if you have Comcast should you wait if your TV is freezing or you are experiencing slow internet connections?
Comcast service is not going to change, it will only get worse. Why? Comcast has and will always use coaxial cable to connect homes. It is a big investment they made and to change it, well it will take years. On the other hand Comcast claim of having a fiber-optic network is TRUE–Comcast does have a fiber-optic network further away in the network, as it has for many years. Besides Comcast, Cablevision, Time Warner Cable, Cox and Charter have all run ads belittling FiOS, but on the other hand they have forgotten that Verizon is the little giant! Verizon FiOs offers higher Internet speeds and better picture quality, my take and according to Consumer Report.
Cable is dead! It is old technology, and fiber-optic is the future. Comcast spokeswoman Jennifer Khoury said “picture doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with the network technology” she continues to add “Our ads reinforce the value and scope of our fiber network to our customers,” she said, adding that the fact that Verizon uses fiber to the home makes little difference to the services it can provide.” PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW.
Jennifer Khoury Continues “Comcast has started upgrading its network to provide FiOS-like speeds in 20 percent of its markets this year.” This statement by itself convicts Comcast. It proves that Comcast network is inferior and it is slower than Verizon’s network despite the fact that they are claiming they are better on their ads. What a shame!
FACT! Fiber optic lines from the cable companies’ end at neighborhood nodes, where the signal is transferred to a coaxial cable shared among as many as 500 households. The shared nature of the coaxial network and its susceptibility to electrical noise limits its capacity.
Verizon’s FiOS network also shares capacity, but among fewer households. The Optical fiber itself has virtually unlimited data capacity.
Charter, Time Warner Cable Inc, Cablevision, Cox Communications, have all claimed to have some sort of “fiber-optic” network, but only one company offers that straight to your home–Verizon.
A lot remain to be seen from these cable companies, but one thing I know for sure one of these cable companies will belly up if they don’t focus on the future and improve their customer service. Please watch the Video below.
Verizon is a better company, both in service and products that is my take, is Verizon offering real fiber-optics network, yes, is Verizon better that the other cable companies, yes, is Verizon more responsive to it’s customers most of the times and better than the cable companies, yes; that is my take, the verdict is yours?
