Time will tell, but I'll tell you this---if service goes down and/or price goes up, I'm off to FiosTV...I've held out on FiosTV for this long because of the alleged horrendous DVR, but I'll make the switch to their TV package since I already have Fios Internet and telephone.

I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing. |

Oh I wish Fios or even FiosTV were around here and yeah I live in Verizon territory too(I have Verizon DSL). If the rates went up I'd have to think about going to DirecTV(TW Cable is too much) and that would take Me about 2 months to save up for as I'm on a fixed income.

Adding more debt is not a great idea in the current economic environment.
Charlie.. I would demand payment in GOLD bullion. 
It's a guessing game when it comes to stock prices and/or the value of the dollar. Be safe and price your company in gold. |

I really do like Dish Network.
If AT&T takes over, I know it's the beginning of the end. Not of the company, but of my level of happiness with them.
I could see all kinds of crap bundling penalty pricing and the like going on, where you can't get Dish for a decent price unless you swallow POTS and other crap.
Our competitive situation in the USA is poor. We have, for most people, basically BigCableCo vs BigTelco. Further consolidation in TV, Wireless, Broadband really just makes it worse. As such, both already act like 200 pound gorillas and pound caps, restrictions, crappy TOS provisions down your throat.
You don't like them, but have to take them anyway because your choices are so few you really can't decline.
