Why's everyone trashing Verizon? Their prices are still in line with satellite - and MUCH cheaper than Comcast.
I don't know if satellite is that much cheaper than cable. Every ad I've seen for satellite always compares the price of the cheapest satellite package to the most expensive cable package. When I compare the price of the package that has what I actually want, then its comparable to cable or even more expensive.

When Fios TV comes to my area (in 2007) I plan on playing the 2 off each other every year. When Fios TV comes, I'll call Comcast and tell them I'm dropping them, and see what kind of deal they offer me, if I go to Verizon, after a year I'll tell them I'm leaving for Comcast, and try to get a deal out of them.

Internet is another story, I was very disappointed with Comcast HSI in my area, so I would probably take the Fios and run with it...

when I switched back to cable, it seemed cable offered more for the same or slightly lower price. I also got rid of the extortion tax for not bundling tv with my comcast internet. The biggest difference is the up front costs for an HD DVR - sat wants a large up front payment and monthly fees to lease you the box, comcast just charges the monthly fee.

I had cable and now I have DishNetwork (at least until FIOS TV is turned on here) and my monthly Dish bill is far less with more channels than anything Comcast offered.
