VZ vs Comcast

[sgoldman at MIT.EDU (sgoldman)]

Dan,
    I just started with Fios for Internet access and TV. The issue for me is 
service and money. I was paying $90 plus for Internet and TV. The Internet 
service is faster and I now have about twice as many channels and the "on 
demand" feature for $85 a month. This will go up at the end of 12 months. 
The down side is finding where the channels are in the new system. I 'm 
ending my year commitment with Vontage and will be looking into the Trix box 
solution for the home phone. We have cell phone too.
