Folks, if there is anything you take away from this modest little endeavor of mine, is that great products are rewarded...poor products should scatter until they are fixed or ignored by the people that produce them until they slide into digital irrelevance.
FiOS by Verizon is just one example. The new jailbreak announced for the iPhone today is another. Greenp0ison?!? Really? So now, if you hate your iPhone enough, you can give Steve and Apple the metaphorical finger as they ever so gingerly "#jumptheshark" (look to the left for definitions on the buzzwords) in matching black turtlenecks over the Millions-Selling iPhone 4 Slow-Motion Disaster, or MSI4SMD, as we call it here, but certainly not around the billionaire dude ranch that is Apple. This is analogous to taking poison and hoping the other billionaire dies. What has Apple done to this hacker lately?
Now take your mind back with me one day to my promise to talk about the "crystalline entity" that is FiOS. Let's just say that whomever committed to bring fiber right into a house or apartment (like your humble correspondent's) needs to have their own scene (sic) in the new movie "The Social Network" because this person or persons have brought unalloyed joy to thousands, if not tens of thousands. FiOS, quite simply, in the best terms, with the easiest definitions, rocks the house. Yes, it is that good. I have had it for years now, and it has never let my snark go unreported in the netherworld of Wireless Forums.
Crystalline doesn't even begin to describe the picture or the service. If you live in a FiOS service area, you must try the un-recompressed HD Video service alone, if not the 20/5 (yes 20 Mega Bits down and 5 up) nearly perfect uptime standard internet services.
Whomever made those decisions to put $3000 in an ONT (Optical Network terminal) and Router in every house that wants to feel the future in their home today, shine on you crazy diamond! Thank you from the bottom of my black and white heart, dude!
