Serious Question: Do I 86 Comcast for Verizon?

[LibraLiz1973]

Or is it all the same kettle of fish?


On Edit: I'm asking this question because of the Comcast/NBC merger. There has to be an alternative to supporting a monopoly.

1. I just got directv.

The Picture is gorgeous and love the multiple room DVR.

2. NO NO NO - More Money For Murdoch

Dish Network has the same shit as DirectTV and the owners are Democrats.

3. Dish is Dem?

[otohara]

10. Yep

they give thousands to Democrats, mostly senate.

They were friends with McCain, but in 08, they supported Hillary and held a fundraiser at their home.

4. We switch to Verizon Fios a few years ago.

We get tv, phone, and internet. Comcast was AWFUL. Fios has been rock solid.

The tv part is comparable in terms of choice, but again, never an outage.

9. I had the same experience.

Comcast = Awful, awful product.
FiOS = Rock solid.

There's no comparison. Go with Verizon.
And tell Comcast why you're cancelling.

12. Same here a couple miles down the road, Stinky. We dumped Comcast

three years ago. Best decision ever.

I am still stunned. Time for another beer.

6. ahem...ever thought of the NO tv option?

We did.
Works fine.
Saves us a ton of money a month, too.

8. I respect and admire your choice. It is not for me.

I like my tv and make no apologies for it. My intent is to be able to continue enjoying my television and internet without giving money to Comcast.

7. We switched to Dish & Verizon & dsl

We are VERY happy & we saved money too.

11. Verizon is a heavy republican party contributor.

Many of the bigwigs in Comcast are actually democrats, one of whom ran for Kennedy's Senate seat in Massachusetts. Think and research before you jump.

[LibraLiz1973]

14. Yeah. I like Comcast services. But a monopoly is a monopoly.

Not sure how I feel about it as yet.

13. I have hated Verizon (now Frontier)

And have talked about going back to Comcast. That talk ended tonight.
