My family says Verizon is shit but they never tried Verizon I bet. I have Comshit (Comcast) and the bill my mom pays is $80. We get only 40 channels NO CARTOON NETWORK DISNEY DISCOVER HISTORY AMC ECT, there is NO HD BOX, only 2 boxes for us. Now, lets get to the internet part:
My mother pays $50 for internet. 30/5 mbps. 250GB monthly usage and for sure, my brother uses NETFLIX. We don't even get a fucking 5 upload speed, you know what we get? A god damn

speed. Sometimes I CAN'T CONNECT TO BLACK OPS 2 or any CALL OF DUTY GAMES. This happens the same with my neighbors WIFI, yup same plan. So don't start saying bring a Comcast Tech there, because they don't know anything.

Now, I never tried Verizon Fios so I did a research on it. So far, Verizon offers unlimited data, a You must login or register to view this content. offer NO CONTRACT. With Contract, We could get a 300$ Amazon Gift Card which I would love because I want to build a PC and save money. The speed is AWESOME because I always want to livestream, but I can't because Comshit reduces my speed to bloody hell. They even have a price guarantee for one year. It's 90$, but we get 210 channels and I don't even watch TV, my mother does. HD too! Well I guess my family says Verizon is shit, but honestly by looking at it, it looks good.

What are your opinions about Verizon Fios? is it better than Comcast? Any bad side to it?

BTW - I heard you cannot use your own routers, you can use only Verizon routers. I just want to use two routers so my brother can use one and I can use the other. I limit the speed of the upload speed on my brother so it won't lag me when he uses Netflix.

I have worse speeds then you do, and never have a problem with any gaming so it might just be the connection quality and not the actual speed. Never used Fios, but it sounds like you might want to try something new.
