I hope this is the right forum...
I have had Directv for a few years now and I am happy with it. But, my phone and internet (DSL) is with Verizon. So a few years ago I bundled them together for a discount.
Tonight I got a visit from a Verizon rep. He said they are upgrading dsl customers with fiber optic lines for no charge and with the double play deal it would save me around $30 a month. As we were going through everything. He asked about my tv service. I said I have Directv and was happy. When Fios came to my neighborhood last year. I looked at the packages. But, with the amount of sets I had (6..Incld 2 HD dvrs & 1 SD dvr) it was more money than Directv. I also have all the premium channels.
Out of curiosity I asked how much it was for Fios with all of the channels (6 sets..2 HD dvrs..I figured I can widdle down to two). It worked out to be almost $50 cheaper with their triple play.
So here is my question. I have looked into the Fios vs Directv comparisons. But, it seems like most of the discussions are 2yrs old. Has anyone switched recently and what do you think? I heard Direct has a better dvr. But, heard something about Fios' new DVR coming soon that has a large hard drive. I also heard that the dvr is a little better on Direct.
Any help would be appreciated!!
