I dropped Time Warner for Verizon Fios about a year ago, and it was a great decision.
I only had one issue so far with a box not working right, and instead of scheduling a service call a week later with a 6 hour window, Verizon overnighted me a new box and I was up and running the next day and put the old box back in the box with the prepaid UPS label.
My whole life
was like a picture
of a sunny day

we are moving at the end of the month and so we get to try Service Electric, so far they have been very nice over the phone. looks like we will get pretty much all of the channels we had with Comcast and Fox Soccer will be in HD!!! yay - so frustrated with Comcast broadcasting it in regular D and it looking fuzzy.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
Had them for over a year, my rate went through the roof. I called and said I could get lower with Directv, and is there anything they can do to reduce my rate to keep the business.
They told me no, and too bad.
So I said Im done with cable, but Ill keep the internet
they said the internet goes from $40 to $75... but if I subscribe to $15 basic cable and not use it, I can keep the $40 internet.
told them to get all their shit out of my house.
now I call directv every time my contract is up and they are pretty good about throwing a few bones.
Dish Network is stuck in negotiations with Big Ten Network right now which puts the Iowa vs Iowa State game in jeopardy for a lot of viewers ....... so yeah they are all shitty assholes (pun intended)

Just have to deal with this shit a little longer from them. What's frustrating is every time I call they make me go through this ritual with them that just pisses me off.
1.Go through the automated menu....phone number....what's your isssue...blah blah blah
2.WHen you finally get a human on the phone, they make you repeat everything you just told the automated system! :? :fp:
3.Unplug your modem and wait 45 seconds.
4.Plug in your modem
At this point I'm 25 minutes into the phone call and nothing is changed.
"Well Mr.Smith, we apoligize for the inconvenience but we would like to send out a technician. How is next Wednesday between 10:00 and 1:00?" :fp:
AT the end of the call they ask me if I were surveyed would I give them anything other than an 8,9,or 10 which indicates great service. I tell them yes. They ask why. I tell them becasue my issue isn't resolved how can I give you positive remarks. They tell me they are working to resolve the issue. I tell them then ask me then. I hang up. Fifteen minutes later I get a call FROM A LIVE FUCKING PERSON from TWC asking me about my experience? :fp:

Directv isnt perfect, but it has been 100x better than any cable company I have had to deal with:
Adelphia (lol), Time Warner, Charter, Comcast.
The Time Warner twitter rants go great with my cereal in the morning
DS, go with Directv and is Fios an option for Internet
