Fios thoughts…
Fios Internet...this is great. It's fast and the router is extremely cool. My only hesitation is that I don't trust Verizon 100% that the router is legit. I'm sure there is some back door built in to allow them to connect. Still debating if i want to cascade routers or not. But from a performance stand point it is magnificent.
Fios TV...I have mixed thoughts. It works and I'm not on Comcrap. Woo-Fucking-Hoo. But no HD on demand, boo, but how often did I really use on demand? So little boo. I get more channels, specifically HD channels, woo-hoo. They all look great, but no better than Comcast. I guess I had a pipe dream that they would look better on Fios versus Comcast, but they don't. Actually I think ESPN might looks slightly worse. I don't know, it could also be the programming. I will tell you on Monday when I see my normal shows.
Fios DVR/Menus...Yeah, this is where I am really disappointed. The gui is horrible. It might even be worse than the comcast one in some regards. There is never enough information on the screen; so much of the screen is just wasted space. Comcast at least maximized the screen real estate. Scrolling through the dvr and on demand is going to be painful with a lot of content. But since a) my dvr is empty at the moment and b) on demand is not fully working at the moment...I haven't fully realized the pain. Oh well, its Verizon first attempt, maybe in version 2.0?
Maybe?
