Switching to Verizon Fios

<< < (2/3) > >>

TOK:
One thing to consider with the Fios, and it's caused some complaints where I'm at... It seems once you have it, Verizon makes it difficlut to go back, since they wreck out the old copper wiring when they do the install, and don't seem inclined to re-run it if you decide you only want dial tone from them again.

Make sure they give you the option to go back.

I've had FIOS for about a year or two.  Internet is definitely faster even at comparable bandwidths and most noticeable on large downloads.  When I had cable you could tell when all the neighbors were on.  The Wireless Router that they provide (and have to use?) is good.

TV quality is better too even on Standard Definition channels.  The TV Box is faster which is nice, although they did just change the Guide and I'm still on the fence about it.

Mine does that quite a bit too... which is a pain in the ass when I'm working from home and not using bittorrent.

I may be a rat bastard but...I'll be a fast rat bastard :)

Be thankful you guys have the options. I can't get Cable or DSL. Luckily, I have Sprint EVDO rev.A so I at least get about 1200/400 on the connection most of the time. With WiMax coming next year, this should get better. I was stuck on ISDN before that.
