“We switched to Verizon FIOS here. Comcast service and equipment is crap.”

How is FIOS working out? Comcast sucks and I want to upgrade my internet (Verizon DSL) also.

RE :”How is FIOS working out? Comcast sucks and I want to upgrade my internet (Verizon DSL) also.

I live in Maryland.

I got FIOS in 2008 after years of crappy service by comcast.
Their service is much better., Their equipment is better and more modern with less problems. I rarely had problems but when I did their service was better. Comcast runs coax cables to the house, Verizon ran fiber-optics.
Their service technicians are knowledgeable and professional in contrast to comcast,

During the years I had comcast their equipment was crap and their service was crappy. Many times they broke their own equipment on servives calls and left forcing me to setup yet another appointment. It painful to call them with problems
Comcast had no ground cable competition here for way too long.

I got FIOS soon after they ran their lines through the neighborhood. They are more expensive than comcast (I think) but a few bucks isnt worth being treated like crap.,

Also where I live weekly neighborhood outages for comcast were regular, typically Saturday night, Verizon hasn't yet,
