I'll believe it when they're at my front door offering to connect it.

If Fios seems like a better option for you, more power to you. Just don't start becoming a troll here because of your dislike of the HR20.

Exactly. Plus FIOS isn't widely available. And from what I've read FIOS will be using teh Motorola 6412 or 6416 boxes, which only have 120GB and 160GB drives.

I'm less then ten miles from their new FIOS video hub. Since they changed the law in NJ to increase competition with the local cable companies, they now have state wide approval, and I expect them to start installing the FO lines in my area pretty soon.

You guys in NJ got all of our (NH) negotiators back in early August. Now, they're not advertising Fios here, but I've had fiber now for almost 2 weeks. No tv service - not yet - but I now have my phone and internet service delivered via fiber. Not only that, my best friend has it and another friend of mine who's like a sister to me has it hooked up to the servers her husband runs their business on.

I've been a loyal Dishnetwork customer for 6 years or so and a frustrated Dishplayer customer for that time period. Nirvana, to me, would be a Series 3 TiVo built into a E* set-top box but I'll never see it.

And as I said that, the UPS truck came by yesterday with an envelope telling me that Fios has come to my neighborhood.

Like I said, I've had it for 2 weeks! :)

I've had FiOS for about 6 weeks and really like it.

yeah but they don't have VOOM or nearly the channel selection of HD stuff that Dish has. plus, they're not available in my area.
