Sorry for your loss. No, your mother is not liable for the mortgage solely by virtue of being an heir. She may stand to lose the equity she might have inherited or been bequeathed if she doesn't step up and prevent the house from being foreclosed upon by keeping the mortgage current, but the bank isn't going to go after her simply because she's an heir.
Selected as best answer
I'm sorry for your loss and this tragedy. I'm assuming you have an attorney and that you, personally, didn't take the driver's deposition, right? If so, you should be asking your attorney these questions and relying upon his/her advice. Don't go around your attorney and solicit case-specific advice on a general-information forum like this. No one on this forum can possibly know your case better than your attorney. And if you don't have an attorney for a serious case like this, get one...

You can file your suit in DeKalb; however, if the defendant responds with a motion to transfer venue to Cobb since that's where the accident happened, it will likely be granted. If that motion is not filed upfront and he simply contests the suit on grounds of liability or damages, or both, the case will stay in DeKalb. Good luck.

"Reviews about ACCC insurance are all horrible. Do I need a lawyer, or do I just wait and see what they do." I believe you just answered your own question, and know what to do.

You really need to speak to an attorney about your specific situation; it's really not possible to give you competent guidance on a general forum like this. Use the Find A Lawyer tab on Avvo to look up a Probate attorney in Decatur/DeKalb County. Most will provide a free, initial consultation. Good luck.

No, a notary cannot validly notarize or authenticate his/her own signature. However, the signatures of witnesses to a will need not be notarized for the will to be valid. There is a part of most wills called a "self-proving affidavit" which allows the will to be admitted to probate if the requirements of the statute on self-proving affidavits, including properly notarized signatures, are complied with. So, the will still is valid; it must, however, be proved up when offered into probate by...

It's impossible to answer your questions in this forum. No offense intended, but you're way out of your league proceeding (it appears) without counsel in fields of law (employment and federal tort claims) that are very tricky even when you have the benefit of experienced counsel.

Webber retires from F1 on a high with second place finish
Nov 24, 2013, 1:17 PM EDT
Mark Webber has retired from Formula One on a high after producing a fine display during today's Brazilian Grand Prix to finish in second place and set the fastest lap of the race.
Webber had started the race in fourth place, but he made a characteristically-poor start to lose a position off the line. However, he slowly picked off Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg and Fernando Alonso to move back up into second place where he remained for the rest of the race despite the tricky conditions and a mistake in the pits by the team.
"It was a very good finish to my career, a good fight with all the guys I've enjoyed fighting with for most of my career," Webber said on the podium after the race. "Seb, Fernando, Lewis, Nico, all the guys which have been in the window for the last five or six years."
Webber was quick to thank both his team and his supporters for backing him throughout his eleven year career that has seen him take part in 215 grands prix.
"I want to thank the team, I enjoyed the last few laps, it was a very nice way for me to finish. I want to thank everyone in Australia, I wouldn't be here where I am without the support I had in the early days, and it's been a thoroughly enjoyable career.
"A great journey, one which I'm proud of, and there's been so many people who have played a special role in my career. They know who they all are. Enjoy watching Formula One next year with these guys, but I'm off to Porsche, looking forward to it."
The Australian driver will move to Porsche's newly-revived Le Mans programme in 2014, but his final race in Formula One was a memorable one after a fine performance despite the wet conditions. He will be replaced at Red Bull next season by compatriot Daniel Ricciardo.

Hello fellow Gardeners. The Elephant Ear is in a container. You just cant see it. filix
You have a head start on me in tuber size, but by golly I'm going to try to give you a run when it comes to leaf size next year. ;-) Mine this year already has tight feet in about a 6 gallon container - largest leaf is maybe 36".
You should try castor bean too, Filix. These are in the ground, but leaf size is pushing 48" hard:
Thanks Al. Mt biggest leaf is 47"w x 51" long. And each leaf that comes out keeps getting bigger. This will be huge in september if the hurricane doesn't rip it appart!
I would like to grow a castor bean. Yours looks great! The poison seeds has kept me from trying. "Young kids around" She is past that stage now, so maybe next year?
I wasn't expecting photobucket to give a direct link. I have all kinds of stuff on there. Even some junk for sale! Your place looks wonderful! filix.

No, Microsoft has been flogging the pen computer game for a _long_ while:
1992 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_for_Pen_Computing [wikipedia.org]
while Apple only formally got in the game later:
1993 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MessagePad [wikipedia.org]
(and then bailed when Steve Jobs came back on board)
Though both were inspired by Go Corp.'s PenPoint:
1991 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PenPoint_OS [wikipedia.org]
but one should look farther back still:
1914--1990 http://users.erols.com/rwservices/pens/penhist.html [erols.com]
Microsoft crashed the initial party (read Jerry Kaplan's _StartUp_), partied in a room which quickly emptied, tried to re-start the party many times (sort-of-successfully w/ their Tablet PC in 2002), then was surprised when Apple started a rave (the iPad) somewhere else in town.
If it's possible to install Mac OS X on the Surface, I may buy one.
Apple was never in that shape. They had billions in the bank. The issue was MS continuing Office support
"We were 90 days from going bankrupt." - Steve Jobs [thenextweb.com].

If You Emasculate Yourself To Impress Women They're Going To Hate You Anyway
It was an atrocity. A trainwreck. An avalanche of fail sailing down loser mountain and headed right for pitiful gulch. It was a video called Dear Woman.
I have tried watching it four times and the furthest I managed to get was 2:15 seconds before my complete revulsion at the nauseating, whimpering, castrated half-"men" on display in the video prostrating themselves before the entire female species and begging for their forgiveness was simply too appalling as a man (no quotation marks) to watch.
In other words, my reaction to the video was utter and complete contempt for everyone involved in it.
Now, here's the ironic part: From what I've seen on Twitter and Facebook? Women seem to be every bit as contemptuous of these pathetic little "men" as I was.
Here are just some of the comments, all of which are very representative, that I've seen about this video from women.
The hippies, they burn: A friend of mine, Caleb Howe, found this video yesterday and I laughed until I cried (just go watch it), but the underlying motivation is certainly NOT funny and the implications are not good for America. Men apologizing for their own existence? No. — Melissa Clouthier
(A minute and a half of watching the video is) about my maximum, but for me it's more of a disgusting fear that this is what all men are becoming. — Erin McLafferty
If I ever – EVER – saw any alleged man doing or saying the things in this video, I'd call him Josephine then teach him how to stop being a little b*tch. — Lori Ziganto
Uggg, vomit. I reckon these guys keep their balls in a little pink box under their beds…Eww Give me a man that can actually defend me from harm as apposed to crumbling in a ball and weeping like a girl. — Lillith
Oh come one, do they really think women are that stupid? These "men" need to deal with their own sh*t instead of listing the faults of other men. What unabashed male ego crap. How about you apologize to the women you personally have taken out emotionally and grow a set while you're at it. BTW, this will NOT get you laid goatboy. — Suzie Homemaker
This is not exactly a shocker given that a lot of the commenters on YouTube would probably taunt dying Make-A-Wish kids for having cancer, but the comments on the video haven't gone so well for our intrepid, apologetic "fellows."
We have temporarily disabled comments on this video. Thank you for expressing your reaction. we had not expected so many people to watch this video in 4 days! We are very aware that some people resonated with it, and some did not. We have received thousands of comments, and many of them are highly abusive or offensive. We are happy to welcome all points of view, but not expressions of violence or hatred. in the next days we will publish existing comments, and switch commenting back on. Thanks!
Welcome to the Internet, Nancy-boys.
Do you know the saddest thing about this pathetic video? These "guys" are completely emasculating themselves, undoubtedly in hopes of impressing women, and the only thing they're earning is well deserved mockery.

It took a lot of guts to do what this young man did. They also offered him 20k in hush money. Fabulous. The proof in my opinion here is that...Read More

Tolos is a city in Essos. The city is located on the north-western coast of Slaver's Bay. It is south-east of Mantarys and southwest of Bhorash. The island city of Elyria is west of Tolos.[1][2]
In the booksEdit
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Tolos is connected by a Valyrian road to Mantarys and Bhorash. Tolos is the last inhabited city before Meereen several hundred miles to the east (Bhorash being a ruin). Travel overland between Tolos and Meeereen is dangerous, due to the proximity of the Dothraki Sea to the north-east and also the harsh nature of the landscape. The Black Cliffs lie between Tolos and Bhorash.
The Tolosi are noted as being the finest slingers in the world. They use soft lead balls instead of stones, which do significantly more damage.
Tolos, Elyria, and Mantarys are the only three surviving cities on the Valyrian Peninsula, each in the northern sections not too close to Valyria itself when the Doom struck. They were colonies ruled directly by governors from the Valyrian Freehold, not Free Cities that had purchased contracts for some limited rule over local affairs. After the Doom, because they were located on the east coast, Tolos and Elyria developed developed closer ties with the Ghiscari cities of Slaver's Bay to the east, and fell into their cultural orbit. Mantarys, however, is located far from the coast, up in the foothills of the Painted Mountains, and as a result it became increasingly isolated.

Man allegedly stabbed near Charleroi-Monessen bridge
Police were called to Route 906 near Monessen side of the John K. Tener Bridge approximately 4:45 p.m. Tuesday for a report of a man being stabbed.
Monessen police Capt. Ed Lyons said information he received from the unidentified victim and a woman who was with him were very vague and didn't match.
"We're not really sure what happened," Lyons said. "The two stories don't add up."
Lyons said the victim, a black male, told police a car headed southbound on Route 906 from Monessen toward the bridge stopped, a man got out of the vehicle and an altercation ensued.
"He told us that he had the upper hand in the fight, so the guy pulled out a knife and stuck him," Lyons said. "But the woman who was with him said that the car stopped on the other (northbound) side of the roadway."
There was no indication how large the knife was.
Lyons said the victim was cut between the small finger and ring finger on his left hand and that he would probably need a few stitches to close the wound.
The victim was transported by Mon Valley Emergency Medical Services to Monongahela Valley Hospital in Carroll Township for treatment.

"Fast as hell, top-notch TV and voice quality"
"Still thrilled."
UPDATE: December 2014:
My 75/35 package is now 75/75, routinely overprovisioned to 85/85. FiOS STB's are nearly perfect - and the phone service works. Nearly as perfect a triple play as is possible!
Still thrilled with FiOS. Upgraded my Internet package to 75/35 service, dropped one of my phone lines, and I'm still very happy with it. Rock on.
I moved into a new home this past July (2011) and decided it was time to ride the light -- welcome to Verizon FiOS.
After some initial SNAFUs regarding my order and phone service (they lost my old phone number in the process), the service is up, running, and fantastic.
I have the 25/25mbit package, along with 2 FiOS Digital Voice phone lines and FiOS TV service.
Excellent quality all around! The Internet service clocks in consistently at 30mbit down/25mbit up (yes, over my rated speed!), and the voice product is excellent. I'm probably least happy with FiOS TV, but that doesn't mean I'm unhappy, just that I've been spoiled by a bakers' dozen years with DirecTV. I get occasional picture glitches which have been attributed to a bug in the set-top box firmware. Hopefully the VZ folks fix that soon.
I did manage to get in on the "Free Multi-Room DVR for Life" promotion, as well as a free SD set-top box. So, even with 3 DVRs and two additional STB's in the house, and a second phone line, I'm still saving $90/month over what I was paying for Optimum Online, Optimum Voice + DirecTV. I'm happy to have more than $1,000 extra in my pocket every year.
Overall, I miss my DirecTV for television, but I'm coping with FiOS TV (I miss it, but I'd miss the $1,000 more!) The rest, however (Internet and Phone) are absolutely top notch!
Good stuff - the billing is convoluted, and you have to stay on top of it, but once it 'settles in', everything is good.

"Insanely Fast Internet and Dynamite Audio and Video"
"Did not like the option offered for where the power supply was installed"
"Good value for the money"
Pre Sales Information
Install Co-ordination
Connection reliability
Tech Support
Value for money
(ratings match consensus)
So I dropped my DSL provider that I have had for five years and switched. The install period would have been as short as 10 days but because I wanted the FIOS TV service and my availability to be off from work, the install period had to be extended.
30Mbps down 5 Mbps up is insanely fast and I am meeting or surpassing the download speeds and just under the advertised speeds - 31100 down and 4599 up with Speakeasy's WDC test. I had not run a lot of speed tests for a while but these are fun.
The installer did not want to put the power supply in a location in the laundry room where it would have been completely out of the way. This is a minor issue but bothersome because a different installer did take the time to locate the power supply in the same area I had initially chosen in a neighbors house. Admittedly, putting the power supply in my preferred location would have taken way more time and involved a lot of blind fishing through a chase from the outside, but there is an obvious difference between what their installers will do for you.
Both inside and outside cabling was done neatly but inside cabling is exposed.
Regardless, both installers did a neat job, wore shoe covers when they went outside and came back in, cleaned up most of their debris from the installation and were courteous and friendly. I did get two installers, one who was familiar with the internet portion and one who did the television portion.
Other things the site asks for:
Home equipment is the Actiontec wireless router.
The router is configured nicely out of the box, because it forces you to change the default user name and password on initial access and has some fairly decent default security settings for the wireless.
DHCP Dynamic IP
There is no need to install the Verizon supplied software beyond the initial setting up your account process. To see how it would go - I opted to use their configuring software for Outlook Express and was given an unpleasant surprise of having additional software downloaded and installed that I was not informed of or given the ability to opt out. That was not really necessary and not a good practice in my opinion. They also offer optimizer software to reset your RWIN for the higher speeds, but it is also not necessary as you can do the same with DrTCP.
Overall a fairly good experience.
So, I've had Verizon for a little over a year now and things are going well. I did have one instance where I lost all connectivity (Phone TV Internet) for 4 days. The coordination between customer service and getting a service call was atrocious. Many promises were made but it took from Friday until Tuesday afternoon to get service back. After 3 hours of diagnostics and head scratching on my ONT the tech discovered that it was self inflicted by another Verizon tech, who during a separate install moved my connection because it was in the way and did not put it back right.
My Actiontec router lasted a whopping 14 months and then it got the LAN jitters. All LAN lights flickering like everything on the network was talking to it but no action.
Wireless and the TV portion of the service survived and to Verizon's credit they dropped a replacement router on my doorstep the next morning. It was configured for PPPoE but a phone call, a hard reset and a release of the IP address fixed that.
So, I am still pleased with the overall triple play bundle except that they have dropped the 30/5 package I have. So far they have not bugged me about it and I am still running at that speed. A few minor price increases in the STB and a service here and there. To put them in perspective comparing them to the increased cost of gasoline, it's been minor.
Working on my third router since I've had the service. First one lasted 14 months as stated above. This one lasted less than 10 months and the transformer went bad. I am disappointed that Verizon has partnered up with a company that cannot seem to provide decent quality equipment for them. If you have a wireless router I recommend keeping it around to fill the gap when your Verizon provided equipment craps out on you.
I had to switch my plan because I added a new HD STB and Verizon suggested that I could save some money due to the fact that I was out of plan. I went with the 25/15 internet service and took the HD Extreme package which added a bunch of HD channels that for the most part the better half would be interested in. My original download speeds had been sliding down to about 28MB download so it isn't much of a cutback.
For some reason Verizon bumped up my 25/15 service to 30/25 and maintained the price. Whatever, I'll take it.
3/12 - Working on my second renewal. I officially had to go to the 25/25 plan although I was already getting those speeds. Rebundled with digital voice because they were forcing me off of a legacy messge rate phone service and updated the HD plan to the current HD extreme to get a better discount. Verizon internet service has been great. TV service still has great picture and audio but I am not pleased with their lack of new HD channels or their bundling pricing tactics.
Capacity test statistics
Download capacity: 25978112 bps
Download packets per second: 3247
Upload capacity: 23319880 bps
Upload packets per second: 2914
Quality of service: 98 %
Packet size: 1000 Bytes
Savings with the additional box and extra channels is about $15 per month. Still loving the service and if they will work with you on a plan that saves you a few bucks a month and give you more offerings with minimal change in internet speeds that's okay by me.
So everything seems to be going okay. I don't miss the HD channels they removed and don't watch the stupid channels they added. I do like the beefed up VOD selections on the premium channels. It makes paying for the premium channels worth it. For some unknown reason they upped my speed to 30 / 25 which puts me back to my original download more or less with a boatload more upload speed.
I suppose they discovered some surplus download and decided to share it.
So they system is bugging me again and all I can say is that I have dropped all the premium channels and the outrageous inside line maintenance cost on the phone to save some money. They want way too much for the premium channels but don't offer enough in HD to make it worth the expense. Switched to using Netflix and Vudu for movies and get better quality at a lower price. Verizon needs to pick it up and start pumping out more quality selections in HD.

Ordered the highest TV package and wanted high speed internet. Getting the TV was not a problem but caps in my building are 30/5 on the internet. Apparently Verizon does not want to upgrade their cabinets. I have a coax and copper drop into the unit. Verizon utilized both. I have TV coming in through the coax (attached to their router which provides internet to the boxes) and internet through an ADSL modem attached to the copper. Tee ADSL modem then attaches to their router to supply internet to the boxes as well as supply the routing for the data. This explains their cap of 30/5 do to the use of the old copper. I do not understand why they could not send everything through the coax with higher throughput? Their competition, Time Warner, is now offering 300/20 service to my unit through the coax. The drawback is dealing with Time Warner and FiOS channel packages are better. I decided to go with the better TV worse data trade-off now, but with a 30/5 cap, i am still not sure I made the right decision. I was used to 75 down with Cox before I moved.
Install process went ok but took almost 4.5 hours. They had problems with syncing and activation on their end. It took two techs and quite a bit of time for them to get it all working. In the end everything worked. The installer was courteous and apologetic. FiOS also contacted me to rate the installation and make sure everything was working. If not I could contact the installer directly for resolution... a nice touch! Luckily everything functions as intended.
I stressed to Verizon sales that they REALLY NEED to address the service caps on my building. I would like to stick with them but the jury is still out in terms of which i can live without... higher speed or more channels/HD/Etc. I ended up paying a bit more per month not to be roped into a contract so I will not be penalized for dropping them... but will still be out the $70 or so in installation/activation fees. I don't think Verizon realizes that their competition is really pulling away in terms of speed! I thought FIOS was supposed to be fast... I think they need to rebrand this FiOS lite.
After receiving my first bill I almost fainted. I fully expected to see below the line fees but they totaled more than $20 worth not including the taxes. In addition to the made up fees, i also was paying over $35 in equipment (2 boxes) and DVR charges. To top it all off the package was $20 higher than what they quoted on the phone originally. Of course Verizon now suffers severe amnesia regarding any of the previous conversation. Their total monthly charges are over $200 for their ultimate TV and 30/5 internet.
Unfortunately swallowed my pride and went crawling back to my only other duopoly choice TW and signed up for their preferred TV/phone/300mbps package which will come out to $170 per month with the taxes, equipment (including the need to rent their modem) and the estimated below the line fees. Hmmm... no real difference in channel line ups, added phone which I don't need (but that is a cheaper package than without) and get internet that is 10x faster (at least in marketed speed) than Verizon. All this through the same Coax that Verizon is currently utilizing.
The install is in a little over a week. I will let everyone know how it goes. The good news is I had to pay the first month in advance so at least I know I will not be overly shocked.
This information is not opinion... just the way it is. It just proves that in the Huntington Beach market there really is just no true competition. At least one of the carriers has some motivation to continue to ratchet up their data speeds (and charge the same rate that Verizon charges for 30/5).

It Happens
Every building is different, if they are using ADSL for internet they either don't have the rights to use the coax, owner of the building wont let them run fiber to every unit, or its just to much of a pain or impossible to run fiber to every unit. 75 on cables not what its cracked up to be. I have it and I don't get the full download speeds, not just on speed test but using Usenet or FTP that can go 100 or faster! When I had Fios I got the full 75 down. Loved it! Wish I could get it again.

Re: It Happens
Not arguing the fact that they cannot run the fiber... my point is that they are utilizing BOTH the twisted pair copper AND the coax. There is no reason they couldn't run the data through the coax... they just choose not to. The coax is more than capable of handling the speeds. In fact since they are utilizing both the copper and the coax, i cannot have a second provider as there is only one drop of each into the unit... therefore i couldn't choose one provider for TV and the other for data.
2014-Dec-3 5:21 pm: ·
Re: It Happens
They cant use the coax. Any coax running in the building is not theirs. Only the coax in your apt is "yours" all the lines leading up to your apt belongs to who ever ran them. Yupp is wrong and ITIALIAN926 is right. Many apts get fiber ran into the apt right to an ONT not an MDU. Even though MDUs come in different flavors, new buildings have eithernet and or coax for MDUs. Older ones get VDSL. Not a bad option just as long as the phone wire is in good shape.

Get rid of the TWC modem and buy your own modem you will save 5.99. It would be a dual modem set up. You current modem has Internet disable and use another modem which is compatible like the Motorola SB 6183. Verizon Fios needs to lower their pricing. I also have Verizon Fios as a option up to 500/500 but I would pay for that if it's under $150. Once Comcast takes over TWC I would be with Verizon Fios for internet and phone. Comcast for only TV.

since last review, dropped from having all movie channels to lowest TV tier, cost went from $209/mo to 102/mo. Catalyst for change (aside from realizing movies channels, HBO etc., weren't worth the money) was new "sports fee" of $2.xx that showed up on bill; when that happened we dropped to tier without sports.
when change was made went from 25/10 speed to 50/25 speed (a few bucks more), now speeds are symmetrical at 50/50; speed test consistently shows closer to 60/60.
Still haven't had any significant issues (except one brief period) since FIOS was installed.

All in all for the past two years the Verizon FIOS internet service was excellent.
That said, a few months ago, I had decided to connect my own router (ZyXel USG200) directly to LAN port on the Verizon FIOS panel, in order to bypass Verizon MI424WR router. Verizon support personnel was ineffective to say the least -- I went through at least six technicians (and at least as many customer service representatives, including the Verizon retention department).
Finally, I got to one very good and very bright guy who was able to activate my LAN port on the FIOS panel within ~15 minutes.

Moca to Ethernet
That ONT port is only supposed to be changed for internet tiers of 150mbps or more which is why you were unable to get anyone to help you. Sounds like someone went against Verizon policy and switched you from Moca to Ethernet.

Finally. After as long as fiber has been out I can finally get the thing.
I got a call one night that the fiber was lit up on my street and placed an order on the spot. I'm getting Digital Voice (VOiP), IPTV, and Data - 25m/15m.
5 days later the installer showed up, cut down the copper, put up aerial fiber, and hooked up everything.
I get a call at 9:25am that the fellow will be out here (one guy) to do everything. He shows up at 9:45am since traffic was good.
He's based about 20 miles away to the north. Everything is going to go off of coaxial. ONT / Power will be inside.
I showed him the ropes he said it isn't going to be too bad.
Now the fun starts.
Verizon isn't even good to Verizon.
None of us could see the fiber drop. He went to the back alley then lit up a cigarette. Can't see anything. He picks up his cell and is on hold for like 15 minutes.
Apparently the initial fiber lay is about 200 feet too short so he's going to have to go back to his depot, pick up a terminal, a line truck, and then extend the fiber, install a terminal, THEN he can tear down the copper.
Estimated time to completion - 7 hours.
This is turning really, really bad.
So after he comes back he clips the copper, runs the fiber, runs everything.
Now the configuration part... yeah not so much.
The HD box and one standard was DOA so he got another of each and each worked. He said a lot of these are DOA.
The Motorola 7100 HD and apparently any Onkyo product = instant green screen because of a parity bit error because "there is no HDMI standard" according to the installer.
So you can't quite use HDMI sound. You need to use optical out. He gave me an optical cable and said have fun and peaced out.
As of now the IMG is release - 1.6.2, Build 08.58, QIP-7100 PI.
I did have to call Verizon tech support because the installer locked me out of my new FiOS router - Actiontec MI424-WR Rev. D (Taiwan).
However, I would like to give one last big FU to Comcast. It took 35 minutes to cancel my account. I was transferred 4 times and the last guy who actually claimed to cancel gave me lip for a good 5 - 10 minutes about how it was a bad mistake and tried to FUD Verizon. What an ass.
03-01-2010 update
My firmware is now 1.7.1 and I changed a standard box to a HD box. That fixed all HDMI problems with the Onkyo.
Completely solid. 5 hours of downtime in 2 years. Not bad. A shame that the roll-outs have stopped.
It still works great. I have no complaints. I added a third party Asus RTN66U wireless router and turned off the Actiontec wireless. The range and performance is better.

Bad routing and terrible gaming go hand in hand on Verizon and has been known for some time on here. It's unfortunate but that's how it currently is. If you want a decent gaming experience, seek a cable competitor if possible. If you do go this route, please let us know which ISP you go to and how it compares to Verizon.

Update 11/19/14
Moved again, signed up for fios again (in December 2013, it took me a while to get back to this). Getting the hang of this now, got a nice deal on 150/75 so i was guaranteed Ethernet and GPON. Installer was fairly knowledgeable but had some issue activating the ONT, had to send someone else who replaced it with one of the "Router Looking" ONTs but that sits inside of a box in my basement. I've got the triple play with Phone, TV, and currently the 75/75 internet. I'd love to upgrade back to 150/150, but i would be looking at something like a $50 a month spike in my bill. I can't justify that. I also haven't been happy with the netflix performance the past couple of months which i do blame on verizon. It's much better now, finally but i'm not happy that netflix had to pay to improve service i already pay for. I'm getting more and more concerned about the direction that Verizon is taking. Between the alleged 10TB cap, the price hikes, the lack of interest in FTTH. I'm not as convinced that the service is worth it, but I love the reliability, and the upload speed. When my contract is up, we'll see what they offer and i might look into some sort of comcast / dual-wan setup, or dropping and giving comcast another try. I don't have any love left for Comcast, but i no longer think that verizon is any better. At this point it's just making a realtime call about which of the two is the lesser of two evils.
Update 3/19/2012
Moved locations, signed up for fios again, parents are still at the other house. with 35/35 connections at both places i can sustain a 4 MB/sec transfer between computers with my untangle /open vpn site to site setup. Still loving fios, the install here was much better, and makes up for the underground guys. the tech was helpful, a little messy, but i just let him do his thing and then once he left went ahead and switched to ethernet and installed my router. Still extremely happy.
Update 10/13/2010
Fios continues to be awesome, i dropped down to 25/25 (which has been 30/25 lately) and upgraded my router to an untangle server which currently has over 90 days of uptime, and the internet as far as i am aware has not gone down once in at least the past year.
Update 3/30/10
The service has stayed great, we have rebundled and get blazing fast 35/35 internet, in addition to more HD channels than we have any use for, and also added our verizon wireless account into the mix so all costs are included in the $420 / month figure (35/35 internet, tv with 5 stbs, phone, 1400 min wireless plan with 2 droids and a total of 5 lines)
Yes, $400 a month is extremely expensive, but their doesn't seem to be any relief in site on that front.
Original post from ~3/09:
Switched from Comcast ~9 months ago, and it was a great decision! Fios has proven better all around, with faster, more reliable internet, Great TV selection, a great Hi-Def multi-room DVR, and very good set top boxes!
We have the basic digital TV package and 20/5 internet, in addition to the standard phone offering, and overall everything is excellent, we have had one intermittent signal problem on some of our TVs, but Verizon was here the next day, and had to replace our ONT, but its been fine since. The router has worked well, i dont love it, but it hasn't been worth the effort of adding a 2nd router.
The only problem I've had so far with Verizon has been the installation coordination, from when they ran orange conduit everywhere (underground utilities here) until they ran fiber through it, until we were able to get Fios was a 2 year process, and our installation appointment was originally scheduled for January, but the ground was frozen so it had to be set back until May, but this was only realized when a tech arrived, and discovered that their was no fiber from the sidewalk to the house, and no way to get it there in the interim.
Overall, fios is great, and i'd recommend it to anyone, especially those who aren't stuck with underground utilities.

Wow I find it amazing you slam Verizon for the Netflix deal, yet Netflix signed a deal with Comcast first, but somehow Verizon takes more heat for it. Also you're not happy with the price difference between 75/75 & 150/150, yet you would consider a downgrade with another carrier as ok.

I have since transitioned to a chord cutting life style. I don't have the Fios tv service anymore, I am now using my own router on the internet only service and i love it. The Fios tv service was great but i noticed that they were increasing the price every year and i thought to put a end to that which i did. The internet service so far still is great, plus i don't have my bill increasing every year which is nice.
