+1 - my switch was nearer, and I also couldn't be paid to go back to cable.

I switched a year ago from Comcast Cable to Verizon FiOS, and you couldn't pay me to go back.

Currently we've got Comcast cable at about $65.00/mo - don't know the data rate. Verizon would cost about $55.00/mo - 15mbit down, 5mbit up. Neither one static IP, just consumer grade. Both are sans phone and TV - I've got a cell phone and refuse to buy access to the mind-altering, time-wasting drug that is TV. Anyone care to give forth with an opinion on the differences between the two, and a preference - customer service, reliability, etc? No DSL here - too far from the POP. I don't mind saving $10/mo, if the service for the FIOS is equal to or better than cable. OTOH, it makes me cranky that they're charging me $5.00/mo *NOT* to have their voice service. Grumble.
