I’m not sure where this fits into the equation, but Comcast is p!ssing me off so I’m about to upgrade to Verizon Fios.

Let me know if it's any better. When I looked into it I had to install all this equipment on the side of my house and still had to have a crappy cable box attached to ever set. And to make things worse the 5 stations or so that I do watch were spread out over different packages so I'd still end up paying about the same as comcast.

it was the best decision we’ve made since we moved here in MD. FiOS kicks butt. Our subdivision was pre-wired for the service so it was easy but I’ve read that they might need to do some digging in places that don’t have the wiring.
We’re looking forward to getting FiOS in our new sub as soon as they can get there. My neighbor across the street and I will throw the installers a party.

Me too! I have the “triple play” and it’s currently costing me $245 a month. The digital TV gets squirrely at times and goes off on a pixel tangent. I’d love to switch, only problem, I have Embarq as a phone co., they stink.

Depending on why you're PO'd at Comcast - you may be just as PO'd at Verizon.
I can read 1000s of complaints on-line about my cable provider - Time Warner - yet I've had TW cable and Road Runner for well over ten years and they've never PO'd me (other than price increases).
Just switching providers may not change anything. Good luck ...

..but Comcast is p!ssing me off..

I dumped Comcast six months ago after they raised their rates 10% - again. I went with our local phone company and couldn't be happier.

Comcast pisses a lot of people off. They still act like they're a monopoly ("We're Comcast. We don't care; we don't have to"). I think that "Peggy" guy works for their customer service.

We had Verizon FIOS until we moved 2 years ago to an area that doesn’t have FIOS. Oh, how I miss it. If it’s available where you live, go for it, you won’t believe how much better it is than anything else now available.
