Re: Verizon is using Sandy as an excuse to force people to FiOS

said by pipigor:

my parents were hit by sandy... their current bill would be twice as much if they would sing up for fios. how is that possible?

For phone and/or Internet? I was under the impression that in either case the price was supposed to be the same for either a year or two anyway?

Speaking of reliability FioS vs Copper.
In my household I have 2 copper lines and 1 Fios line.

During Sandy: Using my FiOS line- I could NOT dial anywhere!
I was getting busy signal right after dialing last digit. And people could not get through to me as line was busy! Very annoying (and good luck trying to reach Fios people at that time).

At same time -I had ZERO problem on my copper lines IN or OUT.

List your pro/cons as much as you want, copper is here to stay in my house.

Not really no, the all fiber infrastructure is coming whether you like it or not. Copper is dying, slowly and surely.

Wrong. Verizon has said they'll never, ever give us Fios, even though it's available 600 feet from here.

i have to agree...it prob isnt coming either. but if they wanted to they could force migrate you. they are doing it on the jersey shore. hence this thread.
