I just had a door to door dude come by my house and offer FIOS with all the cable channels and stuff with fast internet but it would cost me $20 (at least) more a month. I told him I was cool with Comcast. I know FIOS is kick ass and shit but my cable is doing just fine. WWJD?

I'm suprised it's more. I know the equivalent internet package is almost $20 cheaper than what I pay Comcast now. Don't have cable with em tho. Wish I could get FIOS

Since I have both TV and high-speed through Comcast, I'm getting some kind of discount. I get HBO and some other movie channels that I seldom watch and HS for $90 a month. He told me if I switched it would be $115+ and that's without the golf channel. I told him he could go ahead and leave right then.

You should have switched. The graphics to a certain website would load faster.

I'll say once more that FIOS innernet = awesome, but I don't have their TV package. It looks better than DirecTV, and I'll probably switch when my year thing is up with them.
