As many of you know, I am a former television writer/producer and an incurable news junkie, so this was not a decision I made lightly. But a monthly cable/phone/internet bill that approached $300 was enough to spur me to explore the alternatives.
In my old apartment I had Verizon's FIOS and loved it. After years of TimeWarner unreliability, I was thrilled when FIOS finally was available in my old neighborhood on the Upper East Side. I think I was the first one to sign up for the service and when they finally got it right, I was very happy.
Then I moved to my new apartment in Washington Heights and FIOS was not available. Instead of going back to TimeWarnerCable, I decided it was time to take the plunge.
