Fios vs Comcast

So Im going to take a minute here to complain. So we used to have comcast at our house. It was alright. I do however like Verizon Fios better. Well at least i did until my dad decided to get it at our house. So every house I have EVER been to that has had fios it has been awesome! It has a way better on demand program and the guide is nice too. But no my dad decides to buy the cheapest thing there is possible with Fios. AKA NO ON DEMAND anymore!!!! Ahhhh I hate my life. Not only does it not have on demand anymore, but get this there isnt even a guide!! You know when you click guide and it shows you instantly whats on and where? Ya no, you have to go to the tv guide channel and watch it for 15 min to see whats on all the channel as it slowly scrolls, plus it doesnt even show ALL the channels we get. So I brought this up to my dad and he said "Im not buying the big fancy shmancy equipment so you can have on demand. I can give you a way around the guide thing though", Wanna know what his way around it was? To download the app onto my computer and i can look up the guide on my computer...OMG that is soooo stupid. Why would I want to have my computer up and running to look up whats on TV, its just using up MORE electricty costing more money which you could have just used on the fancy shmancy equipment (aka like maybe 5 bucks more a month). So stupid. I am never home either to watch Tv that much, but I do have my shows that I love to watch and I would always watch them on demand cuz Im never home to watch them when they are actually on. So my life pretty much sucks now. No not really, but it defidently is not getting any better. So there it is my ranting on Verizon for offering such a crappy service and my dad for being so frickin cheap. And so the saga continues....

  1. LOL watching the scroll guide can be time consuming :) I work for Comcast, if you and your dad are interested, I would like to check with my contacts for a cheap package that includes the On Demand feature. I know there are a lot of promotions out there but I am not sure what is offered in your area.

    Please emails us if you would like for us to check. We would certainly love to have your and your dad as one of our customers!
