I’ve never really been a fan of Comcast since day 1. Their lack of customer support is legendary, and here in Delaware, you can’t call them 24×7 even for billing. Now, Comcast just announced that they will be placing speed limits on their residential customers. The New York Times has an article on it today.
My wife Kelly and I are currently building our absolute dream home in West Dover, DE, and the neighborhood already has Verizon Fios installed. I am giddy to get Fios because of the Internet speed. Greg Austin, one of our project managers at Delaware.Net, already has the Fios triple play (internet, TV, phone) at his house and he loves the quality. My only concern about using using Fios for TV will be the number of true HD channels, and the availability of true on-demand shows. Greg says it works great.
Our new house has complete structural wiring with CAT5E in pretty much every room of the house, so it will be great to stream music and movies throughout the house. We used SmartIS to wire the home, and they worked with us to make sure that the home would be future-proofed. We will be able to send HDTV signals over the network, and terminate the signal at remote HDMI ports. I’ll put more online about the home soon, and our current home which is now on the market.
