Anyone using it? I'm thinking of switching from Cox, who just raised all their rates about 15%.


I can't switch to FiOS for some reason Verizon hasn't run the fiber-
optic cable to our neighborhood. I guess it could be that we are only 49
houses and they don't see the cost benefit. Comcast, the cable provider,
ran cable in our neighborhood years ago and since then the service has
been very good.


I've got the cable from Verizon in the front yard (which caused a little ruckus one morning). Cox
just sent me a bill for a tad over $200 for telephone (no overseas service), internet (what Cox
calls 'Preferred'), and TV (with no movie channels).


This isnt the 60s anymore, chump.
