Re: Optimum Cable or Verizon FIOS

LOVE Verizon Fios..
never a problem.. and the channels are just excellent!
they added a bunch more recently!

can get confusing cause the lineup is all different but you get used to it!
and they bunch it up in categories which is great!

Re: Optimum Cable or Verizon FIOS

We are swithching to Verizon Fios.

We have been losing signals a lot lately. Of course, that won't be refunded in any way.

I refuse to deal with their customer service due to a nightmare with them trying to set up cable in my apt before DH and I were together.

WORST customer service I have ever encounter!!!!!

Re: Optimum Cable or Verizon FIOS

FIOS is awful, plus it's an electrical hazard, there's an article that was just in Newsday last week all about it. Cable is # 1 Chat Icon
DH does sales for cablevision and all he sells to are unhappy FIOS customers

I am glad you have a great experience with Cablevision.

We have had the worst experience and we are switching to Verizon.

When I asked around (here and with some friends), there are people who are VERY happy with Verizon.

ETA: Cablevision owns Newsday!!!Chat Icon

Re: Optimum Cable or Verizon FIOS

is it true with Optimum cable you can split the wire and run it to other tv's.

I heard you will get the basic channels and no premiums but you wouldn't need a box.


Here in queens with Time Warner (a monopoly in queens) you have to have a box on any tv's you want cable or basic channels on.

Splitting the wire wont work, so for basic channels I either need to rent the box and pay a fee, or try a regular antenna for that TV.

Thanks for the info.
