I take your point, but between the two examples that you gave and the Comcast–Xfinity relationship, there’s at least one significant difference which I believe justifies not splitting the article. That is that Verizon FiOS and AT&T U-verse are brands used specifically for services delivered by way of the respective companies’ fiber-optic networks. At the risk of being snide, Xfinity is just a different name for services that are similar to those that were branded Comcast, delivered through essentially the same network.
