Why would ANYONE want to sign a contract for TWO years with Fios…..knowing quite well its so they can raise your rates when THEY choose….and if god forbid, you choose to leave, the early termination fee is $360 bucks!!!!Comcast may have there moments but at least I can stay or go if I choose…..read the fine print people!!!!!

I am furious with Fios right now. They were scheduled to come out (between noon and 4:00 on Saturday) and they never showed and never called. I called them and they said the “hub” was down in my area so they couldn’t install. Nice of them to let me know so I wasted 4 hours of my weekend! They said they’d call to reschedule and never did. AND they disconnected my Verizon DSL 4 days later! That was 5 days ago and I still can’t get them to turn it back on! I hate Dish Network, but I think I’ll stick with what I already have and find a new ISP!

Well, I had already made the decision to go to FIOS, but with some trepidation. This review removed all of that from me. The FIOS outside installation people did the outside work yesterday – beautiful job running the fibre to the back of the house with no destruction – and the inside tech is coming Friday. So far the experience has been smooth and above expectations. Straw that broke the camel’s back for me was Comcast moving channels around, telling me I could pick up cable cards, making me wait in line for over an hour, and then telling me the call center was mistaken that I would have to call for an appointment and pay a service call fee. Combine that with my sloooooow AT&T DSL and I said fine,if a tech is coming out it is going to be to give me the biggest, fastest, meanest pipe money can buy. I can’t wait. Will give the final report after install.

Very informative…I am considering switching to FIOS…My biggest hangup is the cancellation fee…now over $300.
At least Comcast has not yet gone in that direction…

Verison uses the Actiontec router they install in your home for name resolution. It is a piece of garbage. The latency caused by this for web surfing makes the user exerience offered by Verizon to greatly suffer. So upload and download speeds are faster on Verizon. What percent of your computing time is uploading or downloading large files? Comcast’s network is less complex and name resolution is very responsive making the overall websurfing experience better.
