Something that IS understated in the article is that Comcast's video hub is also located in Everett. This will be a story I will definitely follow.

A couple of other things to be aware of:

1. In moving to the Portland area from Everett, I noticed that Comcast was much higher for less service than I was getting/paying for in Everett. When FiOS came online here, yes, it was cheaper. A year later, FiOS is turning out to be more expensive than Comcast, granted, still better quality. This last week, too, I just got a notice that FiOS was jacking up their prices again (4th time in a year).

2. While FiOS still kicks a** with their Internet service, their television services still have some serious tiling and degradation issues to iron out, which have been all over the news down here, and seemingly get omitted when talked about on Engadget, BGR, BroadbandReports, etc.

Proceed with caution and a clear mind.]]>May 5th 2008 1:15AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/04/verizon-to-build-regional-video-hub-in-washington-bring-fios-tv/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/04/verizon-to-build-regional-video-hub-in-washington-bring-fios-tv/May 5th 2008 4:38PM
