Surfing the big wave....

I actually just switched from FiOS to just regular cable. I couldn't justify the expense. We were on a package with VZ that had everything but the TV. By switching it over to cable, we were able to go from a $150/month bill for cell phones, regular phone and FiOS without cable/satellite/cool-stuff-on-TV to ~$100 for all of that, plus cable-TV. So far, there's only been a small sacrifice in download times (it appears) for when I'm downloading something huge or for when I'm downloading multiple items of medium size.

I'm glad I switched.

Interesting. The only way I was able to push this change through my finance department (see my previous post) was that we are actually saving money on the switch.

With Verizon we will be paying ~ $118/month for TV and phone service. With Comcast+MCI I was over $140/month and that was just basic cable. No premiums or boxes. Now with Verizon I get twice the channels plus the cheap movie stations (flix, showtime, etc... ) and the DVR functions all for less.
