Verizon Fios vs Comcast Cable... To switch or not to switch?

Question

My fiance and I are getting a new apartment. We currently have Comcast, but the apt complex is wired for Fios and the lease office person recommended it.

Unfortunately, neither of us have ANY experience with Verizon, so it's hard to make a decision...

I'm especially concerned about the On Demand programming. I'm currently addicted to CSI, NCIS, Numb3rs, etc that are free on Comcast's On Demand, but I have no idea what kind of shows are on Fios' On Demand on a normal basis... I know I can get the DVR box to record the shows, but how much more per month is that going to cost me?

I have heard Fios' internet is way better, too.

Price isn't an issue. I already researched both, and in my area, the prices are very similar. And we're not bothering with the phone, we both live off cell phones anyway.

I'm a big fan of fios.  Truly unlimited internet, very fast.  But I can't tell you a thing about fios TV since I don't have it.  BTW; their phone service is way overpriced.

I had comcast before and I always had problems with the IP Addresses changing so I didn't like the internet. The cable was okay, only problem was that it went out twice a day. Never tried the phone part, but heard it sucks. I have FioS now and love it! I recommend getting FiOS. In a matter of time, Comcast is going to require you to buy a TV Box to watch cable tv. As far as I see, FiOS has all Comcast channels and more. EDIT: Yes I have tried both and prefer FiOS. Also, as far as I see, FiOS has all Comcast's channels and more. FiOS does offer on demand. And I haven't seen any hidden fees, but that's just me. You shoudl inquire about hidden fees. Hope this helps :)
