1. I call Verizon every few months asking about FiOS. Not even on their radar screen at this point.

[Rosco T.]

11. Verizon suspended their Fios buildout a few months ago....

they're building up what areas they cover now before doing more.

2. we already have satellite, but roadrunner internet. we are considering dumping the satellite

and going off air and just watching via the internet whatever we want to watch.

[elocs]

3. I get my tv free and over the air and don't watch any talking heads. n/t

[socialist_n_TN]

4. I'm calling them tomorrow

5. Frontier (formerly Verizon).

I had considered going back to Comcast because all I want is internet - no tv or phone, but that idea is shot.

[PFunk]

6. not yet

But I've blocked out both MSNBC (and all Comcast channels) from my Time Warner Cable box

[nosmokes]

7. Direct TV is Murdoch. at least go w/ DishTV. n/t

[Slit Skirt]

9. didn't realize that

..but I don't pay extra for msnbc...you do with dish and comcast

[nosmokes]

15. I do *not* pay extra for MSNBC w/ DISH. n/t

[Rosco T.]

12. DAMMIIT NO! DIRECTV IS NOT MURDOCH!

.. but is Liberty communications. DirectTV was sold off long ago...

But I do agree, get DISH, they have BBCAmericaHD... Direct refuses to pick it up

[nosmokes]

18. OK, so it's Malone. I still say Dish and Ergen.

Thanks for the update.

[City Lights]

14. Your facts need updating.

Murdoch hasn't owned DirecTV since 2006.

[Hawkeye-X]

21. Not anymore - it's owned by a less evil Republican named Malone

of Liberty Media.

He's a local, but not terribly evil.

8. I have Time Warner; Comcast isn't even available to me

[blondeatlast]

10. I'd luv to get satellite, but my apartment faces the wrong direction. nt

[City Lights]

13. I made that switch over a year ago.

I still have to replace my Comcraptic phone and internet though. Unfortunately, nothing available in my area is as fast as Comcraptic. :-(

[The empressof all]

16. I've started to check out the Boxy Box

I think it's coming out in a week or two and for a non tech kind of person like me it looks like something that would be an easy fit for me. Basically it's the internet on your tv....

17. No (nt)

[KatyMan]

19. we just switched TO comcast from Directv

Directv pissed me off, and Comcast offered everything we watch on satellite, plus internet and phone for the same price as just tv on Directv. So we switched.

[IDemo]

20. We changed from DirecTV to a cheaper plan three years ago:
