Verizon FIOS vs Comcast might be a better title, no?
- jzdziarski 17y agoTechnologically, this could be anybody's FiOS, or anybody's Cable.. I realize FiOS is more of a trade name, but the general design of 'fiber to the last mile' is being adopted by others too. Fairpoint I believe is also using the FiOS moniker due to deals w/Verizon. So IMO it's more about the two technologies and why one's superior in this situation.
- amock 17y agoFiOS isn't fiber to the last mile, it's fiber to the home, which is a huge difference. AT&T U-verse is fiber to the last mile and copper the rest of the way and it has nowhere near the same speed.
- ars 17y agoNo. He explained that the problem with cable (any cable, not just comcast) is that it needs lots of repeaters, while fiber does not.
