As soon as more people get the service, you will see an increasing number of complaints about them. 
It's Verizon! Not exactly the poster child for great service... of any kind!

Exactly. People with fios, generally, will be more techy, at the start. The average user doesn't know the difference between cable, dsl, fios, or even dial-up, it's just seen as the "Net".
As more average users join the service, we will definately see more complaints. Headaches can happen with any provider, and if people want fios service bad enough, beyond the price, headaches are another premium.

I have Comcast, never been down. No idea on what language the CSRs speak or what they sound like... never had to call them!
Just because *MY* Comcast connection is flawless does not mean *EVERYONE'S* is or will be.
Same applies to any ISP.
Yes, even Verizon!

Not so, grasshopper. In the Star-Telegram article there were only 2 people that were given as examples of poor service. Everyone = 2 people in a newspaper article.
The article made it appear that Fios is getting "mixed reception" because of a couple of folks that live in an area that was just rolled out. I don't have a "mixed reception" here. The doormat is out saying welcome to my 'hood. |

| My point is just because you think that there are only two people with service problems doesn't mean they are the only ones... do I call you a grasshopper? I dunno, never been into those kung-fu movies too much.
I'm sure many people with FIOS love their service. Probably a higher percentage than most other companies. That still doesn't mean there are no people with problems, and it definately doesn't mean there are only a few people with problems (as that would be impractical and pretty much impossible). |
