We have made the switch from Comcast to Verizon FIOS. Whereas Comcast is a cable network, Verizon FIOS is fiber optic. There are three reasons for this change:
- Comcast keeps raising their price on us. Can’t they manage their system better? Verizon FIOS will be a good $40 a month cheaper if we compare apples to apples.
- Comcast keeps chopping my video and audio. They are limiting the bandwidth to me. Also, the television is compressed, so there is some loss even with the high density picture. Verizon FIOS does not compress their picture. The Internet chopping, however, is what I can’t tolerate. I plan to do a lot more video and audio in my web sites and need that bandwith. This problem varies with different Comcast users, but it is definitely there for me.
- My phone service is an internet service currently with Vonage. My experience when I signed up with Vonage was very bad - unethical, immoral, and even illegal. Now, when I tried to change my phone service to Verizon FIOS from Vonage, Vonage won’t release my phone number to them as they are required by law to do. The SEC should have shut them down long ago; but then Bush’s administration is a total failure. Total. We expect Vonage to go bankrupt soon. Their stock has been below $1 for several weeks now on the stock exchange. The Bush Administration with its SEC is already bankrupt.
The ONLY change you will see is a phone number change because the the Vonage problem. The new phone number, effective immediately, is:
(503) -691-9857
My email addreses, cell phone number, domain names - all that stays the same.
