I got similar prices a few weeks ago. I want to leave Direct TV desperately. If they mistakenly bill us for something, they will not take it off bill. It has become terrible since the AT&T takeover. Is optimum or FIOS supposed to be better?

I prefer FIOS over Optimum. Always had a problem with the picture becoming pixilated with Optimum and definitely had more outages with Optimum than with FIOS

They come out to more than I am paying now. I guess I will try Optimum next.

It's all garbage. Pick the cheaper one and call it a day.

I know someone who has Altice (apparently Optimum will all be Altice one day since they already own about 75% of the company) and she does not like it at all. Has problem after problem.

Turns out my Direct TV for tv and Optimum for internet and phone come out cheaper than all of them. I have to make the switch somehow though, as I am having billing problems with Direct TV. Last week FIOS price was so much more than quoted a month ago. Plus they would not throw in the free install. We already have optimum phone and internet so maybe that is the best way to go

Re: Is Fios or optimum supposed to be better than the other?

Fios used to be cheaper and a better deal because they were trying to lure people to them.
Now, they couldn't care less. Same with Optimum- they used to try to get you to stay with them when Fios first came out, but now they are like- yeah, ok see ya.

They all suck and are overpriced to be honest.
