Did anyone catch the last comment complaining about acronyms?  Am I the
only one thinking that the guy should probably not be reading Network
World if he has to google to find out what all those nasty little
acronyms mean?  I'm wondering how he manages to use an Internet
Browser...

I think Verizon's FIOS would be great if it weren't for Verizon.

 

Here's a little story my current boss (Vinnie in this article) enjoys
telling:

All,

Got a doorbeller on my front step today (took the day off) from
Verizon - wants to sell us on his service.

Currently we've got Comcast cable at about $65.00/mo - don't know the
data rate.

Verizon would cost about $55.00/mo - 15mbit down, 5mbit up.

Neither one static IP, just consumer grade.

Both are sans phone and TV - I've got a cell phone and refuse to buy
access to the mind-altering, time-wasting drug that is TV.

Anyone care to give forth with an opinion on the differences between
the two, and a preference - customer service, reliability, etc? No DSL
here - too far from the POP.

I don't mind saving $10/mo, if the service for the FIOS is equal to or
better than cable.

OTOH, it makes me cranky that they're charging me $5.00/mo *NOT* to
have their voice service. Grumble.

Kurt
