Just Installed FIOS

I just got the new fiber optic network from Verizon, FIOS, installed. TV, Internet, and phone service all through fiber optic cables.

The speed is great (movies download very quickly) and the TV works as promised. Very satisfied, so far. They also offer a good HD TV package, so I no longer have to have local cable to get local HD channels (a problem with my dish service previously).

However, as there is balance in the universe, when one technological tool is functioning well, another must fail. My swimming pool pump went out yesterday and I fear will need replacement. Arrggh. I KNEW pools were expensive, but this one is killing me, what with replacing parts after only three years.
