Not a big fan of the Dolans or CV but this commercial stuck in everyone's head a few years back...

UM...now let's be honest. As per YOUR words in YOUR posts in other threads, you tried to get FIOS until they ran a credit check on your "wife" and wanted you to buy the boxes instead of renting them so they wouldn't get burnt.


THAT'S where your hatred of them came from.

No, my hatred towards them came when to came to long island in the 90's, as I stated earlier. I thought you would have known that since you are going through all my posts.

But...FIOS didn't exist in the 90's. Verizon did. As to any disconnct in the stories, that would be because you have ignored the multiple times you've been asked to spell it out succinctly since you've had conflicting accounts.

I've been very happy FIOS subscriber for 6 months now. I got the Triple Play w/ DVR for $92 a month out-the-door (all taxes and fees included). Service is a lot better than Cablevision. Internet is super fast, channels change quick, better menu options and Ondemand, not one service outage.

You'll find the good and bad in every company. Ignore the slanderers.

In this case, some of them are more akin to salamanders than slanderers.


What's the difference between a slanderer and an islander? One less eye to see things with and extra ers to make them sound silly.


Long Island specific humor and I made it up on the spot! How's THAT for a little Friday fun?

Feels good to rid myself of the dolans and the Newsday News 12 evil empire!

verizon existed. in case you didnt know, verizon and fios are the same thing, just like cablevision and optimum.

did you ask your husband about verizon's contractors? go ahead and ask him who put the fiber optics up for verizon. I will give you a little hint: it starts with a "c" and ends with an "s".
