Im really considering my parents into getting the TV service through FiOS. Reason being is that recently DirecTV has been problematic to us such as the receiver not powering on even by resetting it and rain fade has been occurring more often as of late
With FiOS the standard is that you can have up to 3 outlets in your house and we have the employee discount in effect we could probably get its basic HD service for maybe what we payed with DirecTV or lower
What Im worried about is the STAR at the headend here. It serves 5 counties that are about 100 miles in width and almost 200 miles in legnth (Pasco, Pinellas, Hillsborough, Polk, Manatee, and Sarasota). The same WxScan serves those counties and I wonder how the STAR is gonna handle CC. Unlike Comcast and other major cable television providers Verizon in a metro area only has one headend.
