I am happy to say that in a few days I will be Comcast free.

FiOS has been around for a couple years in my area (Pittsburgh) and I have been holding off from making the switch.  I figured now would be a great time to finally drop Comcast. In a few days Verizon will be here installing all of the new services.

I got the triple package, phone, internet and tv. I got the 20Mbit down and 5Mbit up internet tier. As for the tv plan, I got the extreme HD package along with one home media dvr and 3 HD boxes.

Comcast has become so far behind in terms of service and price that it would be dumb not to switch. The package deal I got takes off over $50 a month. It also helps that Verizon locks your price in for 2 years and is currently giving $150 cash back. 

I will post my experience this upcoming week of the entire install process.
