Experiences coming from comcast. Would appreciate comments if anything is incorrect, out of date, or if I've missed something.
1.) Couldn't get to the forums with my Verizon account. After loging in would get thrown out to a small business Verizon site. Had to create separate community user account.
2.) Default remote is only 2 device. Can't program remote for my receiver for volume control. Comcast default remote was 3 device.
3.) iPad app for comcast has all available subscribed channels for watching live TV. Fios app has only subset. Also much more glitchy when watching- more pauses, screen freeze, etc. even with much greater download speed using Fios. Pressing home button on iPad doesn't minimize Fios app screen to corner either.
4.) DVR box doesn't have concept of selecting between two tuners. With comcast I could switch to second tuner and surf channels then go back to first tuner. On Fios a tuner switch is forced when channel changed. So you can flip between two channels on two tuners using the 'last' button but not surf channels on second tuner and go back to channel on first tuner. I used to keep a channel on first tuner and surf channels on second tuner.
So it seems the TV experience is inferior but the Internet is superior? Comcast internet was not reliable in my neighborhood. Of course no one else in my household watches cable anymore :-). All Netflix, Amazon, etc.
