As I mentioned previously, they would not give that to me, but I did get a 2nd HD box free for 1 year so it worked in my favor.

HD picture quality is better than Comcast, not by a huuuge margin, but better. SD picture quality is significantly better.

The FIOS interface is different, but essentially behaves the same as Comcast.

The biggest thing is getting used to all these new channel assignments, not similar at all really.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fios-in-Danvers-MA-21536852 Sat, 06 Dec 2008 09:06:30 EDT Re: Fios in Danvers, MA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fios-in-Danvers-MA-21536140 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fios-in-Danvers-MA-21536140 Sat, 06 Dec 2008 00:43:54 EDT Re: Fios in Danvers, MA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fios-in-Danvers-MA-21534639 --

- Verizon is required to offer TV to all residents. For customers with aerial wiring, it has to be provided within 12 months. For buried wiring and multiple dwelling units, they have 48 months.
- Verizon is required to have an office in town just like Comcast within 18 months.
- Verizon has 120 days to begin offering the community access channels.

That last one kinda bugs me. Not that I watch any of the access channels, but I hate not being able to for a little while.

And I should have watched the whole meeting before I called, since they said that the earliest you could order would be Friday or Monday. Of course, I was already told that, I just didn't want to listen. :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fios-in-Danvers-MA-21521531 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 15:12:06 EDT Re: Fios in Danvers, MA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fios-in-Danvers-MA-21521201 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fios-in-Danvers-MA-21521201 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 14:12:19 EDT Re: Fios in Danvers, MA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fios-in-Danvers-MA-21521055 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fios-in-Danvers-MA-21521055 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 13:38:46 EDT Re: Fios in Danvers, MA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fios-in-Danvers-MA-21520965 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fios-in-Danvers-MA-21520965 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 13:21:13 EDT Re: Fios in Danvers, MA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fios-in-Danvers-MA-21520840 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fios-in-Danvers-MA-21520840 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 12:55:52 EDT Re: Fios in Danvers, MA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fios-in-Danvers-MA-21520832 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fios-in-Danvers-MA-21520832 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 12:54:43 EDT Re: Fios in Danvers, MA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fios-in-Danvers-MA-21520723 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fios-in-Danvers-MA-21520723 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 12:38:13 EDT Re: Fios in Danvers, MA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fios-in-Danvers-MA-21520718 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fios-in-Danvers-MA-21520718 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 12:37:07 EDT Re: Fios in Danvers, MA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fios-in-Danvers-MA-21520711 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fios-in-Danvers-MA-21520711 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 12:36:03 EDT Re: Fios in Danvers, MA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fios-in-Danvers-MA-21520661

Now, I was originally told that I was pre-ordering it in September and would get free internet until TV showed up, so I'll be interesting in seeing if that's the case when my next bill shows up.


Straight out of the gate, I would expect that you misunderstood, or most likely .. were lied to by a sales CSR. Let us know what your bill says.
Well, my bill did not reflect free internet. However, I just called any they fixed it. I was actually kind of surprised because it didn't take very long once I got someone on the phone. I was put on hold while she checked something, and when she came back she said it was fixed, so I assumed she found something that proved I wasn't lying. Honestly, I was expecting it to be a longer phone call and that I would probably end up getting mad.
