Verizon FIOS
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). |

The real key is quality of service. Verizon is doing very well with that in some areas, not so much in others. We're using a Verizon Wireless 4G air card (Pantech UML290) on the boat this summer. Service varies from spectacularly good to spectacularly poor, sometimes within minutes. |

FIOS will be *a* wave of the future in limited, densely populated areas where Verizon can recoup its cabling investment quickly. My guess is that the real wave of the real future will be sans cable. At some point,it will become far less expensive to push signal around everywhere without the investment of cable to every household or business. -- Want to discuss recreational boating and fishing in a forum where personal insults are not allowed? http://groups.google.com/group/rec-boating-fishing |

Yeah, but you can shop around.. Our old phone bill with ATT was 240 a month. We dumped it and went to three unlimited smart phones for 90 a month with Virgin Mobile. That's a buck fifty we save. We had been with ATT Mobile in one form or another since our very first cell phone.. Herring is talking about the bundling of cable, phone and internet, and whether FIOS would be a good alternative to the pricing of his cable company. You are talking about cell phone service. D'oh. How ****ing stupid ARE you? Scotty was comparative pricing, just as John is doing. In your haste to be always the asshole, you didn't think. |

The cable is already buried in my front yard, but I don't know if anyone around here has signed up for it. I'm thinking if I switch and take advantage of the current offer ($99 for one year) that Cox will then start offering me deals to get me back. What the hey. Might be worth the hassle. |
