    Default Verizon FIOS....anyone have it?

    Here we just got Verizon to install the wires in town, however, I was wondering if anyone has FIOS for internet and TV, and if anyone can comment on it?...

    Thanks

    It. Is. Awesome. I adore it. The internet is sooo fast. And the cable line-up is far better than any other company I've ever seen.

    However, here is an important question: Are you a home-owner?

    A friend of mine has the package of tv, internet and phone and apparently it costs her less now then it did when she just had cable and internet through Cox so I would definitely check it out and see what they can offer you.

    Wow. Re-reading that makes it sound like a commercial It's not, I swear.

    Once you go to Fios, it's quite difficult to go back: It's worth it but it's quite difficult. They re-wire your house and the area around it, from what I've heard.

    I have cable, internet, and phone thru FIOS and I'm really happy. I'd say go for it, you'll like it.

    Well, thanks to Verizon, anyone who has cable in an area that also has Verizon is paying DOUBLE the tax they were paying before. Even if Fios isn't an option. Yep, I'm getting fucked with double the stupid tax even though I can't get Fios in my apartment complex. Thanks, Verizon. I hope someone plunges a rusty knife in your ballsack.

    Just got it in fact. So far so good. It ended up saving me $$$ compared to Comcast, but I cant really say I notice any big improvements in net speeds or TV pic quality per se as some claimed.

    Seriously, I'm about to go kick their asses if they show up in my neighborhood again! They came to install some wiring for "future" hookups (we can't get the Fios now since our complex is still under contract with the cable company), and KNOCKED OUT OUR FUCKING CABLE! For hours! I was livid, you have no idea. I can't get the stupid service, but now I'm forced to pay double the cable taxes AND my cable goes out every time they come to do work on my street! GRR!!

    Yeah, I get great reception w/Verizon but because of the cost of my cell phone bill right now ( my plan is $120 a month.... because I have a Blackberry apparently. WTF?), I can't wait to sign up w/a different service.

    My mom has it and she loves it! Verizon just finished the installation in our area so we're waiting for the official ok to sign up. It's gonna save us about $75-100 on our cable, internet and phone.
