Question #1
what does newsday going to a p.p.v. site have to do with ordering fios?

Question#2

and besides their customer service experience sucks balls!

I agree cablevision has better customer service, but the only reason for that is the hold time. And we have had it for about 4 months now and love it. I have the free DVR for a year and dont know how i lived without it. For the rate increase after the trial period, i know of more then two families who just told verizon that cablevision was offering the same deal as they were paying for verizon and verizon almost instantly agreed to extend the current pricing for another year. Hopefully they will do the same for me lol. Only real thing i miss on cablevision is news12.

Verizon is supposed to be coming out with a local news channel like 12, but word has been out already for... at least a year?

no disrespect to Verizon, but it is going to take a long time for anyone to replicate what News12 for many reasons, mainly because of how long it has been around.

I wish Sesame Street would come back on !!!!

Oh nice. I watched that when i was 2, learned to count from that show, then never watched it again. Maybe you should try it??

I can remember seeing the very first episode.

The difference between you and me is I watched it a bit longer, therefore I can count higher than 10 without having to take my shoes off.

Yeah-being able to count to 11 is not that much different. At least i passed 6th grade math with a 100 average in each quarter...

I can't remember what this thread was about?

ScholarlyEMT · 03-13-2009, 10:10 AM

this thread went from being about the newsday website, to fios vs cablevision, to Sesame Street?!?

Makes sense. Sesame Street is where many of Newsday's recent reporters got their journalistic training....

Where's Ed Lowe when you need him?
