[RFI] FIOS vs DSL

[myles Landstein]

verizon offers both dsl and fios (fiber) depending on where you live and how much you want to spend, naturally service over fiber is way better  internet wise, i’ve certainly heard stories of people having some interference from various cpe that fios uses but not always. depends on the box you might get etc…

comcast, typically delivers over coax, lots of areas are now upgraded to service to the house via fiber,  but mostly still coax  either way  pretty great speeds, as well,  again def heard of  complaints of interference can’t speak for everybody  but lots of folks had success   being interfarance free, google is your friend  as to how it was mitigated

best of luck
