Re: Sorry but...

I put about zero credibility into PC Magazines "survey" results.
Not because fios isn't a good product..i've never had it myself to say one way or the other but people on this site do generally like it...but because first..you're talking about a product that has a LOT less customers than a company like Comcast has AND the results are heavily slanted because many of those fios customers probably were cable customers who were enticed for one reason or the other to switch. And so..you're talking overall about a group of customers who have every reason in the world to have voted positively in favor of fios versus very seasoned customers that the cable companies have had for many years and even decades now.

Personally..given all that..I would have been surprised to not have seen the gap in this survey.

It's like taking a lot of one companies unhappy customers..moving them to another company and then saying ok now....rank these two providers.

The statistics are simply wrong..and heavily slanted towards favoring fios.
You have to ask then why were all those people so unhappy with their cable provider in the first place.

I can tell you, in my case, Comcast had a habit of having their computer system hang up on people when a problem was big and then when they instructed you to "call back later" they denied there ever was a problem.

They also had a habit of moving the local digital channels every 2 to 3 weeks and had to have my TV rescan those channels everytime. Not to mention, some CSR told me I shouldn't get the HD locals without a digital box.

Cable companies were the only wired TV game in town for so long, they took customer satisfaction for granted and are now paying the price. They were in my neighborhood a couple of days ago peddling their offerings with their usual low price for a year on a 2 year commitment.
