Re: Does anyone have Verizon FIOS??????
I've had it for a few months now. Just phone and Internet (DishNetwork for TV). I love it! The installer was really good, and fast. I told him I know what I'm doing, regarding computers, so he didn't try to configure my stuff (I hate when installers think they know more than me...  )
No glitches in the phone line or Internet. I got the slowest speed they have (5Mbps), and it's so much faster than my old DSL. FiIO has the potential to go to 50Mbps, where cable maxes out at 30Mbps.
For me, the pros of going with FiOS is that it's not cablevision....

We have it for everything. I have no complaints.
I am a big tv watcher and was very hesitant about switching from cablevision (even though everyone hates them). Great quality, lots of channels. I don't notice any difference in the phone . We have the middle speed internet and its great.

Re: Does anyone have Verizon FIOS??????
I have it & we like it! The internet is fast, there are more TV channels than we had before, and the service hasn't gone out once yet like cable does.

Re: Does anyone have Verizon FIOS??????
We just got it 2 weeks ago. It was fine until we tried to watch recorded television... then we realized that the stuff we recorded had frozen on and off and was pretty unwatchable.
I called FIOS and they said they would send someone to check it out on Thursday.. NOBODY CAME. I was livid. When I called again they apologized, contacted teh serviceman - and it turned out he was out on a call that was STILL going. So they scheduled someone to come Saturday (nobody was going to be home Friday).
The guy showed up bright and early, checked everything out and wound up replacing the DVR box. Now everthing works perfectly!
Honestly - the internet speed seems faster, the television colors look crisper and sharper, the phone is a landline.
Cablevision offered us 200 and the Triple Play price if we switched back.. but we are sticking with Verizon.

Re: Does anyone have Verizon FIOS??????
I have FIOS for 5 months now, and had HUGE problems a few months ago....they charged me 350 bucks for 2 months service and proceeded to take it out of my bank account and refused to put it back, their customer service is the worst I've ever delt with!!
And one stormy night threw out my entire cable box, took them a week to come replace it, and I lost all my DVR recordings :(
