City Council To Vote On Verizon
And, at least in Philadelphia, what do you know: Today’s City Council meeting has just started, and today our fine public servants will vote on Verizon Fios’ entry into the city. Though, reports the Inquirer, we won’t be sitting with faster Internet speeds and cheaper TV anytime soon:
I’m still not sure how this isn’t a done deal already, as Philadelphia is not known for needing palm-greasing or any other kind of back-scratching in order to get things done. We will have to wait and see. |

If Comcast is 
I sure hope Verizon gets the gig..I’m sick of Comcast having such a monopoly over cable and internet in this city. I refuse to patronize Comcast, due to their outrageous prices and POOR customer service!
Nina: Verizon has the WORST customer service I’ve ever dealt with, and not being able to actually talk to a customer service rep in person is the worst. Comcast actually has offices you can go and pay bills to and talk to a human being fact-to-face, and I’ve only had a few problems.
BUT, Comcast still needs competition in this city for television. It’s irritating only getting Comcast when FiOS may actually be cheaper and just as good. I wouldn’t mind doing the switch. This legislation is just a long time coming and the fact we don’t have it yet is just astounding. This project means jobs for a lot of people.
My guess is that he who gives the better bribe wins.
Honestly this whole situation is beyond belief. How the city could hold up competition and technological advancement is beyond ridiculous. It really just comes down to council being afraid of tech. You say no to what you don’t understand.
