I jumped ship into fios and haven't had a single "accidental" overcharge. Fios works. (until a tech F**ks up ONT config and then latency sucks azz) docsis3 has the POTENTIAL for more bandwidth... but don't hold your breath that stingy, oversold cable ISPs will offer you anything more than 1990 speeds you mean

I didn’t build it, i payed for a service and comcast gave me the box, they laid the lines. Don’t pawn this off as my fault. This is the f***ing problem the company not taking responsibility for its actions. I can’t get a f***ing channel to work “on the cable” and the company proceeds to tell me its my fault. I have had countless technicians out to my house and everytime there is a different reason or excuse why the cable is doing it, they say its an easy fix, they do it the cable works for about a week and then its right back to shitty reception. Based on this I would have to assume either all of your technicians are incompetent morons or they are purposly breaking my cable so i constantly have to pay for repair men to come out so they get more money. If comcast is so wonderful and you could repair everything, put your money where your mouth is and come out and fix my god d*mn cable. Oh that’s right according to you it’s my house and the wires in it, and the outlets, so according to you i have to get my entire f***ing house rewired to be able to watch tv because its all my fault and the cable company has nothing to do with the bad signal.

I live in League City,TX and Verizon mentioned in a national letter (its even on there website) that League City was to have FiOS in 2004. Yet its 2007 and still no FiOS. I have made calls to Verizon weekly with All answers leading to "we do not see any profit in Houston and surrounding areas due to the poverty levels being so high." AT&T U-Verse will not enter any areas that are owned by Verizon. So again stuck like Chuck. If TimeWarner and Comcast move quickly here in the Houston area (TimeWarner leaving and Comcast entering) then maybe things will work out and I can get some decent speeds for a change. I mean who wouldn't want a few Mbps of actual download speeds other than just with testing tools. Stammy, your right about Verizon.
