FIOS means fiber optic which means the speed of light. Recent breakthroughs allow multiple signals down one fiber cable, which means multiple times the speed of light.
Yes, the fault for slow service in the US, as compared to the rest of the world, is people like this guy - not that the local telco and local cable company have a monopoly over the local loop and are usually one of the biggest, if not the biggest contributors to state (and federal) government campaigns.
- Stratoscope 13y agoMultiple times the speed of light? I think you're confusing speed with capacity. I have a two-lane country road with a car going the speed limit. Now replace that with an eight-lane freeway with the same speed limit, and put a car in each lane driving at that speed. Are we now driving at four times the speed limit? Each car takes just as long to get to its destination.
