Re: Comcast vs. Fios
Comcast here charges $45 in our county for HSI, but Baltimore City gets it for $30. Likewise, Comcast analog TV is $40 in this county and $55 (!) in the neighboring county. It's ridiculous, and Comcast has been doing this for years. Something can be said for Verizon at the very least offering consistent pricing regionally, rather than making me jealous of my neighboring counties (or them jealous of me). Comcast had been reliable up until recently for me. They offered to up my speed at no charge when I told them I was canceling, but upping my speed limit won't help when, for some reason, it's being severely restricted by what I can only guess is an overcrowded network. At peak times, I was hitting sub-1Mbps. All is well with FIOS and the install was cake. Most of what Comcast offers, you can get free from elsewhere. Verizon gives you security features too. It's not worth an extra $120 per year for the Comcast features. I believe the FIOS ONTs are physically capable of 655Mbps on the data side, and that doesn't include broadcast TV. FIOS is much more future-proof right now than cable. |
