First off, in this area it's now Time Warner, not Comcast. And I used
to have Comcast before switching to Dish many years ago and I would
not go back to that incompetent organization for any amount of money.
Quite a few friends who still have cable have nothing but complaints
over the switchover and wish they were in an area served by FiOS.

Second FiOS is fiber to the home, not to the curb. When the signal is
converted from fiber to coax cable you lose a lot of potential
bandwidth. With FiOS, the fiber goes to a box on the side of the house
where it is then split into the separate TV, phone, and broadband
connections. They provide up to 30Mbps broadband and have another 30
Mbps channel for VOD. And the phone is a real phone not VoIP. Being a
phone system it is all battery baked up unlike cable which dies if
there is a power outage. Try calling for help with VoIP when your
broadband is down.

I still had Comcast when they switched over to fiber and I could not
tell any difference in their poor picture quality. And unless things
have changed recently, many of their channels are not digital even
with the digital box. The FiOS picture looks like DVD quality on all
channels.

And yes, it is significantly cheaper.
