Phyllis, There's a serious difference between FIOS which brings fiber optic cable to the home and Comcast in TV. FIOS doesn't suffer any degradation when the network is full and generally delivers downloads at speeds of 20,000 KBPS. By comparison, Comcast in TV has different plans but their best plan maxes out at around 5,000 KBPS download which is adequate for email and surfing TOTV but less than they should be offering in the year 2008 for the same price as FIOS. Competion in cable offerings would be a good thing in TV. It's a shame that the developers settled for Comcast. George
