Wow. Thanks to all of you who have written me about your experiences with cable/satellite/fiber choices in the DFW metro area. The clear choice of my American Airlines’ pilot readers who wrote me is FIOS. The clear choice of everybody else is ….FIOS. So no need for a vote of no confidence here.

There were also a few U-Verse fans thrown in here and there, along with those fanatics (and I admit, I’m on that border as well) who have a combination of satellite and cable. But those folks usually are in areas where the new fiber options are not available. In case you don’t understand why someone would do this — you’d have the cable for the fast internet capabilities, and back-up television viewing for when the hail starts to beat the crap out of the satellite dish.

And yes, I now am very well versed in the difference in technology between U-Verse and FIOS. With U-Verse, ATT brings new fiber to a switching location, and then the information is sent into the house using the old copper. But with Verizon FIOS, they bring all new fiber right to the house.

Technologically speaking, that seems the better way to go — especially as all of us are only going to want more and more bandwidth going forward.

Thanks again!
