The ads I can handle, what I can't stand are the 30 second lag times between screens after I push Enter on the FiOs remote.
I thought maybe the problem was just at my sisters' house, because she said every single time she's ever ordered a movie OnDemand through Fios she's had issues, but it's the same thing at my parents' house. You try to change channels or go OnDemand and the menu always seems to freeze. That crap drives me nuts!

I'm not saying there aren't issues with Comcast, because there DEFINITELY are, but I just think for the price, at least in my area, Comcast is a better value for comparable service.

I agree. It's been about 2 years since I had FIOS unfortunately, but everything was instant. Comcast takes a long time for me. Interesting. In this day and age, it's amazing how frustrating a slow channel change or scroll can be!
