Re: Surprised? said by BSD24:You might want to check out the Verizon website on pricing before posting, mglunt. You should take your own advice.
How many channels do you get for $48 with Comcast? Here it barely got you analog extended basic which was about 80 channels including all the filler like QVC. I'm not sure if Comcast still offers analog here though. With Verizon you get 200 and again no, there is no extra charge for HD programming. It's free with the HD box rental just like Cox, TWC and Comcast. |

Middleboro, MA | Forgot to mention with Verizon Fios, you have to have a cable box for every tv, primarily because of the IPTV technology which is awesome. But I doubt Comcast would just sit here keeping technology they have the way it is. They can't, they have to go above Fios at some point.
Currently with Comcast you can hook up your TV without a cable box, but as technology is getting better, Comcast should eliminate the analog stations which will free up a tremendous amount of bandwidth to use for more digital and hd channels plus with Comcast releasing 6000 new OnDemand movies a month (3000 just in HD) which far exceeds Verizon who is trying to catch up to previous Records of On Demand content that Comcast has had years ago.
But don't forget. Verizon is getting there feet wet, they know phone technology, but are new to TV technology. Their on-demand menu in my opinion stinks and isn't user friendly. But althought I had to pay Verizon $30 amonth for 1 Multi-Room Main DVR (doesn't include cost per std boxes for all the rest of the tv's), it was awesome to be able to watch a program that I recorded on my main DVR down stairs, from my own room at the same time as someone else watching it in another. And I loved the MP3 player that was on the dvr, getting the mp3s right from my computer. Competition is good, and I can't wait to see some of the new devices and services coming soon to Comcast. |
