And as of Monday, I will never get to use Verizon Fios thanks to Verizon selling their landline business to Fairpoint (I live in NH).
So in the meantime, I will live with crappy compressed Comcast.
Uncompressed? According to whom?
ALL HD is compressed. The master is about 50 times more bandwidth intensive than the maximum 19-point-something mbps signal that is the ATSC spec.
What they really mean is "we don't apply ADDITIONAL" compression to the signal. The content originator certainly is compressing it pretty severely. Great article in "Widescreen Review" this month on the topic of video compression.
Sorry man, I don't know why it replied to your comment. I was referring to the article.

...and if you had read the entire Engadget post you would have noted that Verizon admitted to that.
Michael,
They admitted that after being called on it. The commercial is still completely inaccurate, and apparently does not contain that disclaimer.
