verizon vs comcast p.s.
by Sherry Goldman 19 Jan '15

19 Jan '15

Thanks to all who offered advice. To clarify: a.. I meant to say Verizon Fios, not DSL. b.. I am only talking about landline, not mobile. We have Sprint for Mobile and are very happy with them. c.. We don't want to include TV because it is too disadvantageous for our personal circumstances. So I am only looking to lower price on phone and internet. perhaps I'll ask for advice later regarding TV.

Hi Neighbors, We have a 27" Toshiba tube television that needs to go. Before we put this in the trash/recycle, I wanted to offer it to anyone interested in a free tv. Its an older tube TV, but the picture is good; we just need more space and are clearing out our guest room. Please email if interested.

Comcast vs. Verizon
by Sherry Goldman 18 Jan '15

18 Jan '15

We've had Verizon DSL phone and internet (15/15mbps) for a long time. The bill is ridiculous-- over $100. we are considering changing to Comcast because they can give us a significantly lower bill for the next two years, but then it gets higher than Verizon. Please give me feedback on your experiences with both companies. I hesitate to make a technological upheaval like that unless it is really, really worth not just financially, but practically, and customer service-ularly :-) After two years we won't have the financial advantage anymore.
