And that relates to comcast how?

I hope cable works out for those of you have have it. I myself could not stand going to Mediacom which is the only option here. The only other provider I would ever switch to would be DirecTV since it's similar to Dish.

So long juan,enjoy your cable service.Charter is really pimping the spectrum service here,but by the time we get the equipment we prefer its about the same price as dish,with inferior equipment.So as long as dish doesn't go crazy on rate hikes we will stick with them for tv,nettalk for phone,and charter for internet.

Just as Comcast relates to not DISH, so does FIOS.

Except I was replying to Bob Haller who said he had Comcast after Dish and then made a stink in front of a Fios kiosk.

It might have helped if you quoted Haller's post. That was 3 days ago and 13 posts back...

Good idea, I wish more SatGuys' members would quote or reply to posts instead of using a new post. Gets confusing when reading posts sometimes in threads.

Same here. I'm a sat guy through & through. Streaming, cable, IPTV are all no no's in our house. If I didn't have Direct you better believe we'd have Dish.

That seems rather close-minded.

For some there really aren't any other options other than crappy cable. I'm fine with streaming but not for my main source of TV. My wife and I watch a lot of live sports and I can't depend solely on my internet.

I did. Post #37. I quoted Haller's post and asked about Fios being part of Verizon. Harshness then quoted me and said Fios isn't always Verizon, which had nothing to do with my point.

Yes. But, things change so rapidly nowadays that to preclude alternative technologies out-of-hand seems rather illogical to me.

Satellite TV? Sure. Satellite internet? I lived with that since 2002 until recently, when I changed to a new WISP in our area...a welcome change. Satellite internet is NOT for those who want to enjoy the benefits of the modern internet, but it IS better than dial up. Do you have satellite phone?

It's not that I'm against streaming, it's just that we have 2 sat subscriptions now, Bell & Direct. We really only have Bell for 3 reasons. CFL football & the superstations in HD for me and most importantly is local news from the wife's home town. If she can't watch that everyday then there's big trouble. Plus we purchase a lot of BD's movies & series, so with all that we are already so behind on a lot of shows as is, let alone adding streaming to the mix. Now cable I've never been a fan of.

No internet & cell phones not through sat of course.

Bob Haller is the one that introduced FIOS to the thread.

I'm envious. I wish we had a cable provider in Des Moines that offered a comparable alternative to satellite.

I wish we had a cable provider here. For internet that is certainly not for TV. TWC owns the area around us but refuses to run the lines through our small town because they say there are not enough customers to make it worthwhile. My parents have TWC and their HD and DVR is underwhelming at best compared toy 2 HWS 3 Joey system. I am jealous of their internet though because it crushes our DSL.
