As far as TV Service is concerned, FIOS can’t even come close to DISH Network. AS a DISH customer my bill went down, I have the most HD channels in the industry, and I have access to their awesome TV Everywhere app which allows me to watch, record, or pause Live TV from my mobile device anywhere I can get a 3G or wifi connection, which FiOS can NOT do. After four years as a satisfied customer and one as a DISH employee I would never switch back.
TV Everywhere sounds dope but Verizon allows the same type of freedom with an iOS and Android mobile app as well as the ability to the same via the web. So the DVR management and ability to watch TV and movies become null and void between the two. Dish, i would have to agree offers lower prices and Verizon is a bit more expensive. BUT you must also look at the other aspects… Internet speed. And Dish doesn’t touch what FIOS offers especially on the high end.
