Verizon is Willfully Driving DSL Users Into the Arms of Cable - Verizon's Plan: Kill DSL, Kill Unionized Labor, Raise Prices | DSLReports.com, ISP Information

Verizon is Willfully Driving DSL Users Into the Arms of Cable - Verizon's Plan: Kill DSL, Kill Unionized Labor, Raise Prices | DSLReports.com, ISP Information

 Back in April you'll recall that Verizon stopped selling standalone DSL, taking us back to the stone age of broadband when users were forced to bundle a costly landline they no longer want. That move was just one part of a broader tactical shift by Verizon aimed at completely re-configuring the American broadband landscape -- potentially for the worse. With FiOS expansion frozen and most of the company's focus on fixed and mobile LTE services with sky-high overages, Verizon has all-but declared that the 35-45% of their entire customer footprint that will be left on DSL is essentially expendable. Those users are consciously being driven to LTE and cable competitors as part of one of the largest shifts in power and technology this industry has even seen.
