I think they have a package for $20 for all HD which will get your HBO and SHO HD channels (but not the rest). At least that's what I'd take.

Plus factor in that 5Mbps with Verizon will probably be 5Mbps whereas RR is slightly less than 3 Mbps (from all postings I've seen, nobody's getting much higher than that).

I think the DVR is HD, so to campare apples to apples, you don't need both the DVR and the HD STB. This would reduce the FIOS to $102.80+Tax/Fees in the example comparing to TWC.

Heard an ad on terrestrial radio today in the Albany area touting Verizon's version off all-in-one package.

Phone, Internet and TV all from Verizon. I wasn't aware that TV service was available from Verizon in the Albany area.

[psternklar]

It's not...they are selling DirectTV.
