Amen on the porn Lou!!
Verizon will allow you to re-bundle your services every couple of years, and every time they sweeten the deal too! If you're a customer, call them and see what they will do for you if you've not re-bundled in the past couple of years!

Great deal! I was going to get FIOS until my super informed me that the speed of the version of FIOS in my building was slower than Time Warner.

That probably has to do with the amount of copper wiring between you and the Verizon source....in my case they have now finally gone COMPLETELY to fiber optics from the station to my neighborhood, so they can offer these speeds which are MUCH faster than anything Time Warner offers here.

Yes it was certainly a surprise to me as I was good and ready to give Time Warner the boot.

I've been looking forward to FIOS hitting this area, but as of now, we're still stuck on Cox cable. However, they did introduce DOCSIS 3.0 service here, which gives pretty good channel bonded down:

This is likely bullshit. Unless you pay for an upgraded version of the Time Warner, it is capped at either 10 or 15 download and 5 upload. My verizon 25/25 actually gets 28 download and 26 upload. Right before FIOS was installed, I speedchecked my Optimum and was getting 10 download and 3 upload (lol, fuck optimum).

I would go with Verizon and you will notice a HUGE difference I think.
