With the Superbowl just a short time away, people all across the country are looking at their television, internet and telephone providers in a whole new light. The television has to be vibrant, clear and reliable so that no one misses a play. The internet service provider has to be as fast as light so that disputes over play stats can be settled quickly. The telephone service has to be clear and reliable for the trash talking with people who aren’t at the house talking trash with us. In other words, it really is time to get Verion FiOS.
Verizon FIOS claims they can help you live better. In fact, in all their advertising materials there are photos of smiling faces using technology, having fun and getting things done. If you are like me, you wonder if all those smiling faces are smiling because they believe what they are saying or if they are smiling because they like the paychecks they are receiving. I have been using Verizon FiOS now for more than six months now and I feel I can give it an honest review. I think they are smiling because the service is really amazing.
Whenever someone asks me about FiOS, I tell them how much I really like it. My friends online an in the real world laugh at my stories about my kids using Verizon FiOS in all kinds of crazy ways. If I have said it once, I have said it one hundred times – I never though you could play Marco Polo with a landline phone until I saw my twins do it! Before installing FiOS we had not used a home phone, a landline for years. It has been a lot of fun showing my children how they work and how they are different from the cell phones they were used to. My daughter who is away at college likes the FiOS app because it lets her watch whatever she wants even when she is out of her dorm and away from her television.
First I have to tell you what FiOS is fiber optics. FiOS uses light to transfer video and data signals to your house. Because the signal is brought directly to your house, which leads to fast internet , a sharper television signal and a home phone that sounds better. Now, in the spirit of full disclosure, I have not had a lot of experience with the television. My children have taken over the television and are enjoying the many channels, sharp picture and reliable signal. Now that school is starting and I will be sending the children to school they will be hitting their beds earlier. This means I will be able to enjoy all the channels and the sharp picture just in time for the new fall series and all the season openers. Since the children have commandeered the television, I watch most shows via the mobile app on my phone or tablet.

I have not heard of this. I am not sure that it is offered in my little country middle of nowhere area. It sounds like a super cool product and I love that your kids played marco polo with it!
I haven’t looked into FIOS but I think I will need to – we used to have Verizon but they got a little to expensive for us with all the phone lines we need know. They do have great service though.
We have Verizon Wireless too for our cell service. I’ll be on the lookout for the new FIOS availability.
I’ve never heard of it. You have both got me interested now.
I have never even heard about this – we live in a rural area though and most of the time techie things tend to take a while to get to us. Sounds great though.
Hmm…we have TWC and almost switched to Verizon, but TWC gave us a really good deal to stay. I may have to rethink our decision.
Not sure if FIOS is available in my area, but the mobile apps look awesome and easy to use!
I used to have Verizion FIOS when I lived in a different county. Their service was awesome! I now live on the outskirts where they don’t have service so I’m with a competitor and they stink! I miss my FIOS 🙁
We don’t have FIOS. But I am sure that my husband will be considering it now.
We have FIOS as well. It works great and we are ready for the big game!
I could so use a faster internet speed. Sometimes I think I am back in the dial-up age. I need to switch to Verizon FIOS.
I live in Canada….and I only wish we had the choice you guys do. We are being ROBBED by the companies here.
We don’t have FIOS here in Canada or I would have switched to them!!
We dont have this but I so want a remote that does it all!
I don’t have verizon but this remotes make me want to think about it..
We don’t have FIOS available here yet but I love my Verizon wireless cell service.
I have FIOS for years. I would never, ever, ever, ever consider switching. I am a very happy customer.
