Re: Comcast vs. Verizon FIOS
It all really depends on the area. In Boston we get 40 HD channels with Comcast whereas Fios has around 20 according to the online guide. That sounds off, but still, all the HD Fios has, Comcast has except Lifetime HD, HD Net, HD Net Movies and Wealth TV HD. Those channels aren't making me want to switch.
The fact that I live in Boston prevents me from getting Fios, but my co-worker who lives just outside the city has Fios and constantly complains about the lack of TBS HD, USA HD, Versus HD and other HDs he is missing. At this point I would rather have 3 HD channels per QAM to get more HD channels than have higher quality HD channels and less of them. I can barely tell the difference and enjoy the variety of programming. Even if I move to a place with Fios at this point, I don't think the switch is worth it. The Internet Comcast has is reliable and fast enough for me and the TV is great. If you're not under contract, you could always switch, keep it until your Comcast promo runs out and then decide to go back or stay. At that point both will have more programming so you will be able to make a better decision. |
