Last week, I gladly turned in my Comcast cable boxes and setup my new Verizon FiOS set top boxes. I don't even want to think about the money that Comcast has received from me over the years. Their lack of customer service and constant price increases made me yearn for something else. Luckily, Verizon has their FiOS service in my area now and I jumped at the chance to change.

There are some things about the new service that I don't like as well as Comcast's, but the positives outweigh the negatives. The picture seems to be much sharper and we haven't seen any pixelation that had been occuring with Comcast. But the largest positive by far is the addition of 3 soccer channels. I now get to see English Premier League soccer on a daily basis, sometimes live.   In addition, Spanish, Italian, German, and other European and South American leagues are shown on a regular basis. Fox Soccer Channer, GolTV, and Fox Spanish show all the soccer I care to watch.  What a nice little nugget for a formet futbol player such as myself.
