The service recently became available in my area. I currently have Time Warner cable. TW is very stable, but their upload speeds are pretty bad especially for someone who likes to host servers and such. What do you guys think?

They generally have the best performance, but also the highest price.

Its pretty damn amazing, but also pretty damn pricey.

In my area its not TOO price though, for only $4 more then Brighthouse (which gives 10mg/1mg), you get 15mg/5mg of internet download/upload speed, plus I don't have to worry about my roommate sucking up all the bandwidth with porn or anything either with Fios.

I have Verizon FiOS and I'm very pleased with it. The Wi-Fi is good. I have my XBox 360 and Wii 2 rooms away from my router and it works really well.

Extremely fast. Worth the price in every regard.

how is the customer support? Pricing doesn't seem much to different from what im paying right now. $130 for TW for all 3 services. FiOS seems to be $104 w/o taxes and extra fees. With it i see it being close to the same :/ my biggest concern is the customer support. i heard bad things about verizon

What customer support issues are you expecting? There should be no reason you even need to speak with customer support after you call them and set everything up. My FiOS has NEVER gone out.

having used both TWC and FiOS i have to say that fios is far superior. TWC sucks, i have it now at my place, but back at my hometown we have fios and it's excellent.
