While I am quite happy with my cable modem and HDTV Cable service, I would drop it immediately for this…
Based on a focus group, this guy reports on the order of 300 channels, 3X more HD channels than Cablevision, and, wildest of all, a DVR capable of recording 6 channels at once and doing multi-room streaming to other set tops. And all this at a price to be cheaper than cable. And a 1 September launch date in certain towns on Long Island. [Joseph Laszlo]
When the Verizon tech was here hooking our house up he was surprised I even asked about FIOS, but said it was not going to be here that soon. First they were rolling into below ground areas and tnen the above ground neighborhoods. He had no sense on real timing just that I should not expect to be making a switch in the next few months.
I was only thinking about FIOS as a data service (even with PPPOE / enhanced DSL) but thinking about the IPTV side and the potential for seriously enhanced services on that front make it even more exciting than 15MB /2MB data connections.
