First, a little background about Verizon FiOS from Verizon FiOS:
Why FiOS Rocks
- Verizon’s advanced fiber optic technology lets you watch HDTV with less interruptions, pixelation, or weather interference.
- FiOS is more weather resistant and more durable than the copper phone lines or coaxial cable .
- With the massive bandwidth of a 100% fiber-optic network connected directly to the home, you’ll be “future-proofed” for all the hot new Internet tools and applications coming down the pike.
- Verizon FiOS TV was rated #1 in value, overall quality and customer loyalty, according to the 2010 American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) Survey for the largest subscription TV service providers.
- J.D. Power and Associates ranked FiOS "Highest in Residential Television Service Satisfaction in the East Region," three years in a row.

Flex View “Watch what you want, where you want”
- With Flex View, you can buy, rent and watch on-demand video titles on your FiOS TV, on your computer or on your mobile phone.
- So imagine this…you missed The King’s Speech in the theater and prefer watching it on FIOS TV on-demand from the comfort of your living room anyway. You rented it late last night and weren’t able to finish it. With Flex View on FiOS TV, you can finish watching it on your mobile phone while waiting in the car pool line.

Now my take on Verizon FiOS. I LOVE FiOS!!! We have the TV/Internet/Phone with Verizon FiOS. When we first moved into our house we had another phone/cable/internet company. They were expensive and currently our only option in our town. Then came along Verizon FiOS and we switched right away. Then the other company came back with a better deal and we switched out of Verizon FiOS again but quickly realized it was a mistake!! You get what you pay for. Back to Verizon FiOS we went and were we will remain.
Verizon FiOS is faster, has a clearer picture, better children's channels and a better line up for all channels. We will never switch back to the "other" company again, no matter what they offer us.
Here are five reasons I love Verizon FiOS as a mom:
1. Verizon FiOS has one of the best DVR's. Because they carry such great programming, I am able to tape all my kids favorite movies and TV shows and keep them saved for ever!!! We still have movies saved from Christmas 2009! LOL
2. We love the pause option. My son is almost 5. When he has to use to restroom, he HAS to use the restroom. Thank gosh for pause or else he would never go!! He never wants to miss a second of his favorite shows and with the pause feature, he never has to.
3. WIDGETS!! My son loves to play games and check out the weather forecast for the FiOS widgets!!
Here is a little video about the Verison FiOS Widgets:
4. I love that channels change so fast with Verizon FiOS. With other companies, there was always a lag and then it would pause, getting all hung up on a previous channel. It was just a mess. If it is time for Backyardigans and I realize just as it is going to begin, I want the channel to change right away, not ten minutes from now!!
5. The Internet is super fast!!! My son loves to play Club Penguin on the computer and you need the Internet to be fast. It would be too frustrating if it ran slow. If there are a lot of people playing at one time, you need a great connection in order to play.
So if you aren't already connected to Verizon FiOS, check them out! You will never go back! At least I won't! :)
