I went with them for the FIOS service.  We had Comcast which I really hated.  Yes they are expensive!  But customer service is really good.  More then a cable company. True fiber optics. True ditgital phone.  Super fast internet.  They run the line in to your basement.  Something Comcast can't do.

I live in a large metropolitan area that is filled with verizon subscribers.  Verizon purports to have the best coverage.  I was amazed at why I got so many dropped calls in my home (land line) and my Verizon phone (about 9 years ago).  They could never figure it out for me.  

 

I dropped Verizon cellular (and I have a good carrier with excellent coverage for way less money).

 

I have Fios (internet/tv).  I used to have their landline but I dropped it because my calls would drop at any given time.  My daughter still has their landline service and her calls drop.  I told her to dump it.  I don't miss my verizon phone services one bit.

I have no choice now. I lived in a large urban area where I mostly had ATT & was happy, but could have gone with T-Mobile or Metro PCS or Straight Talk as well.

 

I moved to a rural area where there is a huuuuge difference between Verizon and every other company, so I'm stuck :-(

I don't find Verizon expensive at all.  My husband and I pay under $100.00 per month for 2 cell lines, unlimited texting, unlimited talking, no long distance and 6 gigs of shared data which is more than enough for us. 

 

I would never have any other cell carrier.  I know too many people with Sprint and AT&T who complain constantly about dropped calls, etc.  We never have a problem. 

 

The biggest racket Verizon has is the cell phones through say Best Buy, etc.  There is no such thing as getting a phone for 1 cent.  You are paying much, much more for that phone.

I don't understand what the 'story' is here, I've been a long time Verizon customer and have no complaints with the fees.....

Ditto, except we have 8 gigs.  When I was working in New Orleans post Katrina, only those of us who had Verizon had service.  

 

Granted that was a while ago, but since I live in a majorly hurricane prone area, and only have mobile phone service - I'm sticking.

 

Isn't choice great?

I wish FIOS was an option where we live.
