I just gave Cablevision the finger and switched to FIOS tv completing my 3-package deal (tv/internet/phone) with Verizon for $95/mo. Been very satisfied with FIOS internet (20/5) so it was a pretty easy decision. And I'm saving $60/mo. by doing this too. Cable alone was $86/mo. - ridiculous, isn't it? God I hated Cablevision ever since the Internet capping fiasco and the only reason I stayed with their tv was because FIOS doesn't offer NHL Center Ice but I'll deal with it (paid online streaming ftw).
Install is Wednesday - any other FIOS tv subscribers out there? I'm hearing nothing but good things with the service. With all that savings, I'm actually gaining Showtime, TMC, and Flix, but losing HBO (no big loss). I love how Verizon is sticking it to local cable companies.
EDIT>> For those who care, Cablevision retention was going to give me $16/mo. off for a year for the package I had. Not too bad for those wanting some relief - give them a call and threaten.
