Default *** OR Fios

Which of these two do you prefer when it comes to entertainment quality, price and service *** or Fios? WHY?

Fios... I have had *** cable and it sucked! Always had problems with it. Never had problems with Fios cable yet (I have only had it for 7 months) As of the intenet, its MUCH faster then ***. Also as of price, if you get the triple package for Fios, you can get a really good deal. I pay much less by having Verizon phone, internet and cable then with ***.

*** has always been consistently faster and I have never experienced dropped speeds or any outages.

I choose ***.

I had FIOS for a while, not even on the same playing field with *** in my opinion.

i suppose it is hit or miss with either option. We had *** Internet service and it was ok. But then we went with Fios and it was far faster then *** was.

I have ***, and haven't had a problem with the product, but their customer service sucks *****. I've had to call atleast 15 times to get my stuff straight over the past 2 months. Every bill is different, every time its a different excuse from them. I HATE THEM, but I love their product, never had a problem with it at all. My friends hate ***, because in their area it will screw up sometimes, but mines been flawless.

I'm not on the east coast, but around here, *** is awesome.

I live in a pretty small town, and have their 15mb package. However, since I am one of the FEW that have their fastest package, they don't cap the speed.

It's wide open. I routinely pull 22-24mbs.
