Verizon vs. Comcast

richlevy · 11-28-2009, 10:11 PM

I have Comcast Internet which has been acceptable. I've had issues lately, but I also have a deteriorating PC which might be causing a bottleneck.

At BJ's today I spoke with a Verizon rep. The upshot is that I can save about $37 a month by switching cable/internet. I already have Verizon phone and cellphone. Part of the $37 is a $15 per month discount on my cellphone service. For internet, I would get the middle speeds 25/15 Mbps which I believe is better than my current Comcast.

The Verizon rep also claimed that Verizon was true 1080p HD where Comcast is compressed (740p?).

Has anyone switched or done research on this?
