Re: LOL
You forgot to mention, Concast's "HD Choices" AKA VNOD (Video NOT On-Demand) only ever works from 3-5AM (From my experience and many other people I have spoken to). If you try to use it at any other time your most likely going to be disappointed because they do not have enough bandwidth to handle more then 5-10 VOD streams at a time and there usually always full.
Now as for Verizon, I have not once encountered a VOD show that I could not watch whenever I wanted. There shows are always available On-Demand and the quality is 1000% better then anything Concast ever gave me. While it may be true that Verizon does not have as much as Concast at least Verizon is able to keep there system available to anyone who wants to access it. |

| If we look at HD in two contented ways, there are the linear channels, and the VOD.
They both have their highs and lows. FiOS obviously has more linear channels, but significantly less VOD. Comcast does CLAIM a lot of HDVOD, but a lot of that is 2 minute interviews or peices of junk. BUT, a good chunk of FiOS's linear channels are PPV/West feeds of Movie Channels.
For the future though, it seems that CC is expanding their linear lineup (see my post in the Midwest Forum about ADDING 54 HD stations in Detroit, bringing the total to 102), faster than FiOS is expanding their VOD lineup.
It appears though, the good news is that both boeheimiths have enough bandwidth to eventually support all the HD feed we want. |

Don't fall for Comcast, they should be ashamed.
When we had Comcast, getting disaconnected from the VOD was a fairly common thing. And, since the weather around here can sometimes be stormy, the briefest power outage would leave the box blinking "12:00" and the guide content unavailable- for days.
After FIOS sells off it's TV subscribers in three states, including Indiana, I hope Frontier continues the great service as best it can, as I dread the thought of ever going back to Comcast.
Or, losing our beautiful trees to get satelite TV.
