Re: Anyone Reject FIOS? I had problems with Verizon and their customer support and refuse to deal with them as much as possible. I still need a no frills POTS line, but I never use it for anything and I don't even use that phone number. It's necessary for my security system and to call for help if an emergency arises.
I live on the south side of a valley that slopes up and completely blocks any possible chance for me to receive satellite TV service without using a very tall tower. I have Comcast cable and I like their OnDemand service as I basically watch sports and time-shifted programs. Because I get TV service, I only pay $53 for 16/2 Blast! HSI service with effective 24/3 speeds with the boost. This has proven to be more than adequate for me.
The cost of switching to a Verizon FiOS package at a comparable speed was not significantly cheaper at all, and it would come with the hassle of dealing with Verizon once again, which I loathe to do. Besides, many of my neighbors have made the switch, which has only helped to relieve any congestion that we might have experienced before.
It's nice to have a choice, but unless something changes, I don't see myself making the switch.
