hi everyone
H and I are moving to cherry hill soon and I was wondering if any of you had opinions on the cable/internet/phone service. both mine and his parents live in the area and have comcast, but we're leaning towards verizon.
any horror stories that would persuade us to stay with comcast?
Re: verizon fios v. comcast
Both my parents and in laws have fios and love it. My H and I looked into switching from Comcast to fios, but once we added in the extras we wanted (HD, extra boxes, DVR), it was going to be more expensive. We also have a promotional rate through comcast which was up to expire this past month but my H called and asked if they could extend it. He told them if not, we were switching to fios so they did extend the deal.
oh, that almost makes it worth it. last weekend we were home at H's parents and there was nothing on so we tried some on demand - anything that was worth watching cost money.
thanks for the info - i'll have to talk to H and see what he thinks. i don't really watch a ton of TV, so i'm kind of leaving the final decision up to him.
i'm going to be working from home once we move, so the internet is very important for me to stay connected to the office - does anyone who has FIOS have trouble keeping the connection?
i'm not sure if it's just the area we're in now or comcast in general, but our internet connection is either dropped completely or so slow you can't do anything online more and more often lately.
We switched to FIOS and love it--more channels for less $ (and we have just about every single thing you can add...including a second box, oye!)
My husband spent HOURS, I mean literally about two hours one night, on the phone going round and round and round with Comcast who simply would not extend the previous rate or cut us any deals. When we called several weeks later to cancel after the FIOS guy left, the lady was like "oh we could have done something for you." Too late.
update: we've decided to go with FIOS. i'll be working from home so internet connectivity is a BIG issue for me.
thanks for your help!
