Re: [PLUG] Internet Provider Wars, part New
|
I just did this analysis, although I taylored it to business class internet.
Here is the summary of what I found:
FIOS triple play is slightly cheaper, and offers more TV channels.
Comcast still modulates in analog (in addiion to digital, of course), so you
don't need a decoder for that old VCR in the basement
Comcast phone does not allow unlimited calls. You pay 5 cents/min for "long
distance"
Both companies are orgnizational idiots (or to utilize the jargon of my
profession, are "not Lean".)
