FiOS vs. Optimum Online

Damascus · 02-12-2009, 01:27 AM

I just got FiOS, and so far, it's doing great.

I had Optimum Online and my speed fluctuated. I have no knowledge of the ISP world, so if anyone wants to explain, that would be nice.
My internet would also lag around and randomly disconnect.

Basically, FiOS or Cable?

Well, I would never go to Verison personally. Although, I have yet to experience their service, so I can't formulate an opinion on FIOS. But I do have Optimum Online and it has been a little unstable as of late. I attributed this to perhaps the weather just messing with the connection, so I'm not really sure.

Around here Comcast is our cable internet. They aren't bad... but they aren't worth the price. FIOS is faster and cheaper. Of course they don't have it in my neighborhood yet so I gotta deal with Comcast until something better comes along.

I agree with the 20/5. I had it for about 7 months until I saw the new comcast triple play. Its a bit depressing after having FiOS for so long
