FIOS TV is almost here

02 December 2005 - 12:26 AM

FYI, Verizon plans to start taking FIOS TV orders in less than a week.  December 1st was the original target date but after I spoke with them today, it has been pushed a week.  So, for those of you already on FIOS Internet, you'll have something else to consider soon.

The channel lineup and pricing looks good, but I see a problem with their HD DVR offering.  They are currently using Motorola 6400 Series HD DVR's that have 160gig hard drives.  You can fill 160gig fast so they have a capacity issue that needs to be addressed.  An easy solution would be to enable the firewire port on the DVR and allow external hard drive enclosures.  Some of the cable providers permit this, although many do not.

Verizon FIOS rate reductions - 30/5 speeds for $55

06 September 2005 - 10:38 PM

Verizon is running FIOS promotions in New York and is offering the 30meg/5meg plan for just under $55.  :shock:  If you've been on the fence, you might want to check pricing for your area.  That is a hell of a deal folks!!! 

I would imagine this will eventually trickle across the US.  It was bound to happen.   :-P
