I live in portland Oregon if that makes a difference.
The middle plans of both of them. 45-55 dollars a month.

WIth comcast The speed changes a lot. As in sometimes its pretty fast and others its SO SLOW you can’t even use it.I called them and said thats because in large markets there servers get overloaded. I pay 50 dollars as well as other people do so they should upgrade so that doesn’t happen. With verizon does the same thing happen?

Fios is very fast. I am a computer junkie, and I think this is almost too fast. I downloaded a gigabyte in an hour once, and that’s average speed. I have never seen the network slow.

On a side note: yes, everyone at Comcast pays for the service but increasing bandwidth is not a simple thing. In fact, in some cases, bandwidth is not the problem. A packet queue on some router or DNS machine might get filled, discarding extra packets, meaning that the requesting machine will keep requesting data, only to have it discarded…. what you get is tons of packets not being able to go anywhere, major cyber traffic jam. There’s nothing that can be done to fix that short of creating another separate network in the same area, and that’s VERY expensive.
