Re: Price competition is there...they just don't advertise.

They probably should advertise. I've had Comcast for almost 5 years and their service (less customer support, which sucks) has been good. It's been getting a bit expensive tho. I've got a FIOS junction box right in front of my house, but I haven't seen a reason to switch yet.

Yes, FIOS is faster, but I don't really need that (be nice tho). The cost difference comes down to a few bucks for both Internet and TV. If FIOS had a real cost advantage I'd switch in a heartbeat.

I also have access to Broadstripe Cable (old Millennium cable), but their prices are about the same and they have a terrible reputation for service.

Give me good service at a lower rate and I'm yours!

It's not always about price, it's about quality. Fios has superior quality in broadband as well as video for a similar price?? Sounds like a no brainer.

Do they? I've had nothing but major headaches with billing and getting my internet service to work, and after spending a week in FL with family who have FIOS TV (Sarasota), I have to say that my DirecTV looks better. I will admit that I only have a 720p television and was watching standard def on a 1080p.

How do you have access to 2 cable companies? They share the wiring that goes through your neighborhood?
