Now with Verizon I even get Democracy Now along with over a hundred channels unavailable on Comcast.

I fully endorse the superior quality of Verizon ( the competator TV and ISP monopoly in our area )
However I have no experience with direct (dish) TV performance.

The fiber optic "cable" really is a fraction the thickness of a human hair.
Amazing.

I have to admit the TV and internet are both now between 99 to 100% better than cable.

No more mega pixeling or scrambled pictures.

There are far more HD widsecreen features which are true to their original presentation.
I would guess there are 3 to 4 times as many HD channels.



They even throw in a wireless router. My wife is so pleased I can't get a word in edge wise between the blackberry and the laptop :<(

The downside is it costs a lot more than $10 a month but I'll probably throw the movie package overboard during the summer.

The one thing that Comcast is better at is their commercials.

Verizon needs a new ad firm.
