Love FiOS. Hate dealing with their support. They are a phone company. If you don't a have a phone number with them (which seems to be their primary way of ID'ing you), they fumble 9 times out of 10.
I did finally find the guy who was able to get a PTR record set up so I could host mail tho... he was a good egg. -sc -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:kurt.b...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, October 22, 2009 9:18 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OTish: Verizon FIOS vs. Comcast Cable All, Got a doorbeller on my front step today (took the day off) from Verizon - wants to sell us on his service. Currently we've got Comcast cable at about $65.00/mo - don't know the data rate. Verizon would cost about $55.00/mo - 15mbit down, 5mbit up. Neither one static IP, just consumer grade. Both are sans phone and TV - I've got a cell phone and refuse to buy access to the mind-altering, time-wasting drug that is TV. Anyone care to give forth with an opinion on the differences between the two, and a preference - customer service, reliability, etc? No DSL here - too far from the POP. I don't mind saving $10/mo, if the service for the FIOS is equal to or better than cable. OTOH, it makes me cranky that they're charging me $5.00/mo *NOT* to have their voice service. Grumble.
