I just realized that I will be moving from Google Fiber down here to Fios in Pittsburgh. Is Fios equivalent?

Does this happen a lot in that area? I am moving there in 6 months I was hoping for reliable infrastructure.

Reply to What must be done for VR to go the way of the everyrday smartphone? by skylyfriend

I looked at VR but when the main player is Facebook which owns the Occulus and is utilizing it to glean as much data from users as possible, well, that feels exploitative and invasive. When there is a major player that can drop a solid VR set that protects the privacy of the user then we can talk about VR in the mainstream.

And for the record no I don’t use Facebook or instagram either. It’s crap.
