Default Anyone use Verizon for their Internet?

Going to be moving this week and got the phone service, cable and power set up. As for internet, I am going wireless. How does it compare to Comcast?

I have the wireless router and cards for the 2 laptops and Desktop which will be hard wired into the router.

Any help is appreciated, thanks

I've had verizon and comcast both and there's no comparison. Verizon is better by far.

FWIW, I'm with comcast now, but was with verizon a few months ago...I miss it.

I am assuming it works with my Linksys router and all.

You live in an apt complex. Steal wireless bandwith from neighbors or at least share the cost with one. No need for every apt to have seperate connections.

Get Cavalier DSL bundled with their local phone service for the lowest cost around if you can get the service. Cavalier DSL can be tweaked (with distance limitations) to be faster than cable.

If you get HBO, it's cheaper to go DirecTV after all of the taxes and fees. The "on demand" channels are a gimmick. Get your own DVR (TiVo or DirecTV) then just record and watch.

We have Verizon for our phone already. That's why it was $17 plus $34 for the phone service. Comcast Internet broadband alone is $30 plus another $55 for the cable TV basic crap(when you figure all taxes and fees). We are saving money using verizon DSL and some say the service is pretty good. I am going to try them out.
