Title: So that's why the cable TV pipeline gets clogged

misleading ads

I bet the difference in picture quality is so minute that most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference. After all, you don't get to see the "true fiber optic" picture side by side with the coaxial fed picture.

"Lately it seems everybody is talking fiber optics," says a suave man in Cablevision's commercial for its Optimum cable service. "The Optimum Network is fiber optic. Your phone company? Talking fiber, even though a lot of their network ... isn't."


Well, that's a blatant lie.  I have Optimum online and it sure isn't fiber optics... plain old coaxial cable . dry.gif

As my link says... misleading ads. The article says some claims of fiber-optic networks are true, up to the point where it connects to the customer's house, with co-axial cables!
