Time-Warner (is AOL still in there?) can't even come close![}:)]

Got Verizon FiOS this year and after a few glitches with malfunctioning set top boxes, I'm very happy. I had DirecTV prior to this and loved it, but wanted to save some money. Went with Cablevision and within a DAY, I called Verizon. Cablevision's cable system and their onscreen guides and miserable DVR (can't search for a show by name?!) are from the 1990s.
Not to mention in the days I was waiting for Verizon to hook us up, our cable service went out for 6 hours - no explanation, clear day. Never had anything even close to that kind of outage with DirecTV - in some serious storms your signal can go our for a bit, but nothing longer than a half hour usually. (And even that's only for severe storms - maybe 4 or 5 times a year?)
I highly recommend FiOS now. Though I have nothing bad to say about DirecTV. I just wanted to bundle my service which at the end of the day probably only saves me about $20-25. (Note - I think you can bundle DirecTV with Verizon phone and DSL in some areas of the country.)
