Comments on: Verizon FiOS adds 6 HD channels, says it’s not really slowing down in SoCal http://gadgetress.freedomblogging.com/2009/07/02/verizon-fios-adds-6-hd-channels-says-its-not-really-slowing-down-in-socal/16991/ TV, mobile and Internet: Covering technology's monthly bill Thu, 01 Jul 2010 02:41:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Lance http://gadgetress.freedomblogging.com/2009/07/02/verizon-fios-adds-6-hd-channels-says-its-not-really-slowing-down-in-socal/16991/comment-page-1/#comment-9737 Lance Fri, 10 Jul 2009 22:07:08 +0000 http://gadgetress.freedomblogging.com/?p=16991#comment-9737 So.....Verizon is the incumbent (not dominant) carrier in Laguna Beach where one would think that the take rate would be tremendously high for this high-end service. HOWEVER, not only do they NOT have Laguna on their forecast, the OC Register doesn't even acknowledge Laguna as a VZ territory. Cox has dominated the market with the triple play and Verizon would (in my humble opinion) crush them in Laguna. Most of town has their utilities underground with pull-strings out to the junctions. Is it really that difficult for VZ to pull fiber in neighborhoods that have new underground conduit infrastructure ? VERIZON........TAKE NOTE !!!!! YOU will win my business back if you'd get your act in gear.

Looks like the cable companies can only do about half if Verizon, and the trend will probably continue. Makes living in a fios area that much sweeter. Wow, Fios is really pushing out the HD channels.
