Fiber TV Install and Experience

SkinnyGuy writes "The same guy who brought you the Fiber to the Premises (FTTP), FiOS broadband installation process, now brings you a detailed look at the FiOS TV install. He's thrilled and apparently couldn't be happier to say goodbye forever to Cable TV. There's a lengthy story and interesting slideshow." From the article: "I chuckled a bit to myself. After all these years of the phone company having to lease out and let competitors use its phone lines and utility poles, Verizon was using a competitor's wiring (and the work they did to run it into my house). Sorry, Cablevision."

Quantum fibre TV

You turn on your tv to watch your favorite show only to discover that channel surfing collapsed the wave and moved it to a different day.

Damn fibre!

In reality, we have had fibre for years here in england (NTL) and its nice and stable (apart from when its not).

Known Carcinogen?

My cable representative told me that FiOS causes cancer ... is this true?

But at least he can take comfort that their (Verizon's) math will be spot on.

Warning: Using FiOS may result in drowsiness, loss of appetite, nausea, uncontrolled bleeding, headaches, back pain, skin rash, hair loss, itching, athlete's foot, sore throat, blurred vision, tinnitus, and/or dry mouth. Do not use FiOS before operating heavy machinery or driving. FiOS should not be used with meals.

Also: FiOS may stick to certain types of skin.

Do not taunt FiOS.

I like your signature. I like your mod rating too.

Re:Known Carcinogen?

That might be true; but based on my experience with Comcast if you stick with cable you're likely to get an insatiable yet uncontrollable need to bend over and grab your ankles resulting in a severe case of rectal bleeding. Just by coincidence, this malady often flares up on a monthly basis when the cable bill arrives in the mail. Must be an allergic reaction to something in the ink that they use.

I suggest a counter-advertising campaign of "Telephone Companies Are Funding Al Qaeda" or perhaps "Comcast's Executives Worship Satan."

Ooh! Truthiness!
