I’m gonna be moving soon, and I thought about getting Verizon FIOS vs. Comcast, but now I doubt I’ll be doing that. I heard their much touted service is nothing special, the On Demand offering sucks, and I believe they have less HD Channels. I’m not gonna pay more for the same or inferior product. I even get VOIP through another company, so I don’t need their phone service.

The comment posted by brian/ny:April 29,2008 seems to be in line with my experience with (vz); They keep adding data & megabyte charges on my bill. I’ve had to have my account updated 2x due to inflated bill charges with assurances that it won’t happen again; I will have to wait for next month’s bill again to check if they make good on their assurances. They leave services on your plan without advising you about them and then they wait till you complain to remove the services but still hold you responsible for the bill.

This is exactly like the Direct TV commercial where the cable executive said he read a book about business school (but didn’t actually go) and said we should raise the prices. The other guy said that is a great idea. We will go after the people with disposable income and have them use the disposable income to buy cable. In fact, they are too busy to know HD if it sat on their lap. Maybe somebody should tell Verizon the commercial was a joke!

the reason their earnigns are up due to more text messages and customer browsing the internet is that they dont tell their customers, they trick them so all this money is in accounts receiveables. VZ are thieves, the ceo should be hanged for his dirty practices of CHEATING customers.
