| OOL to Fios
I had OOL for years and liked them. But they are hard to deal with and for a long time they had rolling caps. I went to Fios and I love it. I took the TV and they are giving me 20/5 for 39.99 out the door. That with all taxes. I had one problem one time in the two years I have had the data (only had the TV about 10/mo) and they gave me the 50/5 plan for 90days to make up for it and the problem was with billing not the service. The main reason I moved to Fios was that if CV offers all the HD they say they will the way there network is setup they will have a problem. They need to move to IPTV or run move fiber. A CV sales kid came to my door and tried to tell me CV has fiber right to my poll and I know thats not true. Also i have to say the HD does look better on Fios and DirecTV then it does on CV and i think that also has to do with the network. I'm not trying to talk bad about CV but it all comes down to everything coming in and out of your house over one copper cable line and thats going to be a problem. |

CV's HD must REALLY SUCK if DTV's downrezzed overcompressed HD-LITE looks better.

Croton On Hudson, NY | Have you tweaked? That seems terrible even for a congested area. Have you tried in deep off-peak to verify that this is a congestion problem (e.g. 8am sunday morning)? |

Infact, this is really why I'm not in any great rush to go out and order Verizon FIOS. My family loves our HDTV package.
True story - In July, an elderly lady that lives in the neighborhood had stopped in to ask my wife a medical question. At the time my six year old girl was watching Discovery HD Theater. The woman was impressed and asked me to help her pick out a set.
We drove to the Springfield Mall and picked out a nice rear projection set for her. I also helped her set up her Cablevision in terms of getting the right box and showed her the basics. She ran into us when we came back from Vacation a few days ago and glowed with excitement. She relayed that her Bingo group started meeting at her place just because of the HDTV 
Point is, HDTV on Cablevision is really second to none and one of the selling points of iO service. Many people who have it will agree with me.
