Another 65000 loss video customers. Rumor is video is done? VZ 5G is offering You Tube TV in the package. Seems like whoever is running the fios video is running it to the ground. Why wouldn’t VZ offer their own video streaming service instead of You Tube TV? I guess video will suffer the death just like another yahoo, aol, go90…..
I just moved to a town that doesn’t offer fios they are trying to sell me 5G with YouTube. Meanwhile 1/2 my state of Delaware has fios?
Video product is profit neutral so Hans will keep these customers in the books as long as it doesn’t lose money like go90. I heard Super Bowl proved the new streaming platform to be a much inferior product as it lagged and people actually couldn’t watch the game due to volume .
Lmao those old cable company guys! Time to make the donuts 🤣
Sorry video haters. They can’t just shut down a service with 3.5 million customers. It will prolly stop being sold at some point then the company just lets the customers bleed off like they did with copper landline.
Video is something customers actually liked but it was too expensive. It’ll die a slow death; I say 10 years before the stragglers are kicked off.
QAM not QUAM lolz
What Verizon stream??? It’s done finished. They are offering YouTube TV now, you old cable guys! 😆
Lol at the guy saying it’s called quam!!! That’s those old cable guys lmao
QAM less video has been in development for a couple years now. It now being deployed in certain markets labeled as Fios stream TV. Maybe stay on the wireless site with your “I know a guy” knowledge.
“I know guys who came over from video…”, “…built on cable technology”. It’s called quam buddy, just quam and they have already switched over to IP based with the new boxes. You really know what you’re talking about.
Also, video is dead for every company. No new news here.
as a comparison, charter spectrum lost 250k video customers and comcast xfinity lost 390k in Q4. linear tv industry is dying, its not verizon specific.
the traditional fios tv product is solid but expensive for customers and unprofitable for the company. the new streaming service that is available with 2gig internet is trash because its run by overseas folks that don't speak english. every company will eventually drop video as the content providers (cbs/paramount, disney/espn, nbc universal, byron allen, discovery/warner bros.) demand way too much money for their terrible content.
No doubt fios Video is in trouble, they haven’t added customers in years. They continue to loose subscribers daily. I gave up on video when my service quality was horrible, they wanted to switch my boxes out and charge me more money. No thank you. I went back to Comcast
I don't know what you're all talking about. The guide works great, it's simple and snapppy, i can get whatever VOD i pick in seconds, and the mobile app is awesome. The quality is perfect on 1080p. I can control my dvr or watch whatever i want wherever i want, on any tv nearby just by using the app and screen casting my mobile to the tv. Everything works perfectly...this is clearly another rumor bait thread.
VZ RIFd all of their top tech talent. Replaced them with Indians to save a buck. You get what you pay for. A subpar product/service (at best) that nobody would pay for.
All the hype around 5G and now you hardly hear anything about it. It only works in stadiums and arenas.
Fios video is the worst! They dropped the ball trying to get a good video product. It lags compared to Comcast technology. The VOD never works, the guide is terrible, the locals on my antenna come in clearer than fios.
I’m an employee of verizon and I won’t even recommend it. My group has a few video guys that transferred over, from what I heard they built that video product with old cable people trying to utilize the old cable technology, the video group is still being ran by old cable folks that don’t understand how modern networking works. And yes the LFAs are bending VZ over because they own zero content and have no leverage with the networks.
VZ is definitely betting on 5G! Now let’s hope Hans knows what he’s doing. Last I heard he wanted to roll fiber out in poor villages in Africa lol 😂
Frontier already bailed on it I’m really surprised to hear VZ stuck it out.
There’s no profit in the video services, it costs too much money to maintain. Newer FiOS buildouts only aim for double play due to the LFA’s (Local franchise agreements) costing too much. YouTube TV would be more cost effective in the long run and would encourage consumers to higher tier data speeds. 5G Home is deployed in places where FiOS cost too much (permitting, buried developments), most if not all can be done as a self installs with reduced dispatches for technicians.
