Verizon is replacing all of their copper landlines with FiberOptic cable. Signal loss is almost nill delay to the CO is almost nill. I'd like to see cable signals beat the speed of light! Cable is a shared connection, yes sometimes your speed is great, but sometimes its junk. I had adelphia cable internet, VOIP, and TV for a year, I dropped it in favor of nothing the quality was so bad.
