I have Satellite TV and Cable internet and it is casting me 65-70 a month and that is for the fastest in my area. I live in the hood (BLAME KATRINA) and in Southlake and Keller (SUPPORTERS OF KATRINA FUND) I know they get top notch stuff and even have FIOS offered in certian areas but I am not aware of there pricing.

I'm not as concerned about the TV portion as losing my Roadrunner. I need it for work.

And for ****.

I used to have FIOS over in Grapevine. That was stupid fast. Download entire 700mb cd's in 5-10 minutes.

Not worried about prices going up, my work pays for my internet. I just want FIOS to come to my neighborhood
