Verizon

You have many options to choose from when it comes to who provides your wireline or wireless phone service, or which service you use to access the Internet.

It's choice and competition that benefit consumers most. The same applies to cable TV!

In places where cable competition has already taken root, people are paying less. Don't just take our word for it. See for yourself. The research below backs it up.


A December 2006 report from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) examined the state of cable pricing and revealed an astounding finding:

The price of cable TV service has increased 93% over the past decade.

Satellite TV -- cable television's chief competitor in many markets -- does not have a real impact on cable TV's pricing. The FCC found that average prices for cable TV service were the same as or slightly higher in communities where satellite TV service was available.

The remedy: wireline TV competition. The FCC reported that in communities where a wireline TV provider like Verizon offers service, cable TV prices are 17 percent lower.
