Verizon FiOS

Tit, didn't you say you have FiOS and that it was the shit? TW has met my needs in the past but last week something was wrong with the signal to my house and the picture was all pixelated. They came out to test the signal strength and said it was fine. They even put a booster in my attic and said that it for wouldn't happen again. Well it happened later that night.

Like I said, aside from the isolated incidences TW has been fine but if I can get better quality at a cheaper price with more functionality then I would be willing to switch.

Any drawbacks I should know of? They have plenty of HD channels right?

I pay like $125 for internet and TV and I don't have any premium channels.

I've never had any problems with outages as far as TV. Occasionally, I have to reboot the innernet router, but that's maybe once a month. I'm not sure how it compares pricewise with the others, but I've been happy with it for about 5 years now. Some people think the TV interface thing sucks, but unless you're one of those people who bitch about different types of web browsers on your phone, you won't have a problem with it.

I'm in the sign up process and they want to charge $30 for a home media DVR and an HD DVR for the bedroom. Damn they're proud of their equipment.

Yep, that's how they roll. I pay around $45 or someshit for 4 boxes around the house.

Uverse is maybe a smidge cheaper.
FIOS has a decent amount of HD channels.
Tit's situation wtih innernet's the same with me, you gotta reboot the router from time to time.
I haven't had any outages either.

Sometimes the innernet goes ker-poop when it rains out here, but that's about the extent of the problems.

No problems with uverse. no problems with routers, internetweb, rain or anything. Me am happy.
wish the on demand movie rentals were a buck cheaper but oh well.

TWC keeps adding HD channels and that makes me happy. I haven't had a problem with the modem for a while. Good thing since I can't get satellite or FIOS and ATT won't let me get Uverse without a credit card.

which is fucked up, because I got Uverse on the last true credit card I had that had 5 bucks free on it.
