thanks for the replies
We are gonna do it
The biggest reason for switching is to get away from Comcast the monopoly, and to save about 45 bucks total. Also to get the NFL channel without having to pay extra for it since comcast realigned their channels so we can't get NFL without paying extra for it.
they have a special deal for 99 bucks all 3 internet,phone and TV, but ofcourse there is extras, but we still save money.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

yep, and the wife adds stuff to the phone that we have now like 4 bucks for wire maintenence on phonelines, then you have to have the TV boxes, she wants the DVR , and then there's taxes, ends up around 150 and we are paying about 200 for all three now.

Slip as others say, you will love it. The stuff is selling like gangbusters.
The speeds currently offered are 5/2 mbs, 20/5, and 50/10. Just to clarify the phone is not Voip, it uses a separate bandwith on the fiber, the power supply, and battery back-up are for the equipment that changes the light to a digital signal at the house. You are on your own fiber, sharing with noone,which means that when johny rotten comes home from school and starts dowloading your speed will not drop unlike the competition. Also the competition's phone is Voip, so when their internet is down so is your phone.
Bruce the inside wire maintence will save you 95 bucks for a service call if the trouble is inside the house, but since you know a phoneguy.....
BTW the tech support for DSL maybe in India, but the tech Support for Fios is here, they actually have an office in Providence, Virginia, California, and Texas, that was a union negotiated thing with the FIOS.
Thats all for now gotta go install some light....  |

Yup, picture is crazy awesome, never seen anything like it. Clammer can only watch one channel out of the 800 he pays for because he can't figure how to use the remote..  |
