Fiber optics delivered Internet is more than just faster, more reliable, and higher quality Internet, the neutrality of the delivery of your Internet data allows for "cord cutting" to be your default option. You, as the consumer, benefit from more choice, more freedom and flexibility, and most importantly, lower overall prices for Internet connectivity, video content, and voice services.
The future of content delivery is now here, available on your favorite compatible devices:
via subscription-based streaming services that travel with the subscriber, with ability to pause / cancel services at anytime, and finally no more nonsense:
"add-on" and "recovery" fees,
annual contracts and cancellation fees,
equipment rentals and DVR fees,
"local programming" fees,
installation appointments.
