Verizon FiOS vs Comcast

How good is Verizon FiOS when you compare it with Comcast? The big question really is what are the advantages of FiOS over Cable?

True, Comcast does use a fiber-optic network and has been for quite awhile, but the fiber doesn’t come all the way to your physical house, like Verizon FiOS does. Does it really matter to the end-user if Comcast has been doing this for over 10 years? Not really! People are simply looking for the best network with reliability.

The Triple Play bundled services between Comcast and Verizon FiOS are extremely competive, however the speed that FiOS delivers simply can't be matched by Comcast. Verizon FiOS has speeds that scream and Comcast is trying to improve theirs, but right now, FiOS is very quick indeed.

Comcast and Verizon FiOS both don't require contracts. One huge difference is if you are a Comcast Internet subscriber, you will have a cap of 250GB usage per month - starting October 1. If you go above that, you might get a call from Comcast. With Verizon FiOS Internet, you can use as much as you want, and you aren’t sharing your connection with all your neighbors. It’s your line, coming directly into your home.
