I looked it up last night and i actually think i can get that deal for 19.95 in Richmond!!! But yeah 1mbps isnt gonna cut it for me.

About 2 months ago i woke up one day and said F it and called up and cancelled my Fios internet. I called back an hour later and tried to get it back and they said it was too late and i would have to sign up for another year and it would be $10 more. F impulse decisions.

The main point of canceling Fios was because i didnt like the spot where they installed the box and thought the wire coming into the house looked like shit. They have yet to remove the box, modem or overhead wire. During the same day i called Comcast cable and tried to get them to remove an old wire coming into the house that also looks like shit. They too havent removed it. I also called AT&T non-digital telephone service to remove the 3rd ugly ass wire coming into the house, they removed it within a couple days, although i had to spend about 30 minutes with a guy in India guessing what the first 6 digits of what the phone number used to be for the house.

So F fios and Comcast. At&t landline is cool, i guess.


D-Rave, have you considered cutting the cord? Currently, i only have rabit ears, but before that I was going internet only. Buy a digital tv antenna ($15), a Roku ($75) and youre straight. All you got to pay for is internet, Netflix, and maybe Hulu if you watch a lot of TV. You might even find a friend thats willing to trade you their HBO Go login for a 12 pack. Or, if you have a xbox you can even get ESPN 1, 2 and 3 in addition to the basics like Netflix and Hulu. It takes about a month or two to get used to, but youll realize you spent wayyyyyy too much time watching nothing before.
