I am so tired of TWC. I have called VZW begging for them to come here. lol. Alas, no ETA on roll out on my block. I just keep asking TWC for bill credits when service is slow/bad so that's beginning to add up. Small victories though I'd much rather pay and have the service actually work. <br /><br />Come on, FiOS!!!!!

My landlord can't even fix our roof let alone agree to Verizon or even answer the phone. Is it worth it? Hmm. Must do research. I always had the TWC wires so I just called them. Internet only.

Quite a few people I know are switching. TWC doesn't seem interested in keeping their customers and the only package they offer to current customers is there 199 Signature which makes no sense for those that have one TV, don't care about "white glove" tech servicing, or have no need for all the premium channels,<br /><br />Interestingly, the DirectTV picture quality is superior to TWC. Everyone I know who has made the switch is happy plus, unlike TWC, it stayed up during Sandy.<br /><br />There is a pent up demand for FIOS from what I can tell so Verizon will have a built in customer base. <br /><br />Cynthianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-83814997570404167622013-03-12T18:48:17.101-04:002013-03-12T18:48:17.101-04:00This is one of the great mysteries...

My neighbors quickly followed suit after they experienced a series of outages with Time Warner and I allowed them to piggy back off my wifi for a few weeks while Time Warner fumbled around trying to schedule a visit and fix the problem. Simply underlined that Time Warner seem completely indifferent competing on price and even less so on quality of service. <br /><br />FiOS's introductory 2 year sweetheart deal including 50/25 Mbps internet speed, never experiencing peak time slow down, no interruptions of service - was simply icing on the cake knowing that I'll never have to deal with Time Warner Cable ever again. <br /><br />Verizon didn't install a box in/on the building but brought service into each apartment/floor individually from a utility pole at the end of the garden. If this is the route others will be following, word to the wise, figure out where you'll position the FiOS box (11" x 17" x 3") and accompanying cables/wifi router, ahead of time. <br /><br />A true test of the speed and quality of FiOS is that I now take industrially fast and highly reliable internet download and upload along with absolutely trouble free TV service and content streaming - simultaneously on multiple TVs and computers completely for granted. <br /><br />Time Warner Cable couldn't pay me to be a customer again.
