I would probabky go FIOS because it should be faster than your other options.

FIOS, no question about it... comcrap has restrictions on how much you can d/l and u/l.

FIOS. How can you think of anything else? Sweet sweet 25/25 mbps up/down for like 60/month.

Note, one nice thing about Comcast is that you can still receive standard stations with an ATSC tuner.

I have FIOS internets. There are no restrictions on d/ls and u/ls afaik. I think its by far the best option out of the three. Plus its fiber optics man, it uses cool lights n stuff.

I vote FIOS. It's nice an fast, and if I'm correct, Verizon is doing a special introductory rate that's good for 2 years.

Aren't you limited to only 1 HD channel at a time for the whole house with U-verse though? That is a major drawback IMHO.

yes its very annoying, since it comes with a HD DVR so i can't record and watch HDTV at the same time.

they are supposed to upgrade to at least 2 HD streams this year and also activate wholehouse DVR. its ridicuolous since i sync at 28mbps and there is enough bandwith for 2hd streams + 4 sd at the same time + internet
