FIOS vs. Comcast
October 17, 2009 at 6:53 pm Leave a comment
After a lot of years of fairly good service with Comcast, they finally ticked me off enough to switch to Verizon’s FIOS. A few small hiccups aside, I’m very happy with the decision.
The pros: faster internet, easy integration with my existing Airport network, excellent picture quality, more HD channels, decent customer service, may actually be cheaper than Comcast if you do the full bundle (phone, internet and TV).
The cons: guide and menus take a little getting used to, periodic DVR glitches (probably not worse than Comcast though), non-trivial installation process.
If you’re annoyed by Comcast, and you can get FIOS in your area, its worth real consideration.
