[Hidden-tech] Verizon vs. Comcast

[DAVID F. FARKAS]

Hi all...

Finally getting ready to switch away from Comcast and ditch cable TV. 
It seems EarthLink no longer offers phone service so that only 
alternative is Verizon.

What they offer at my location is their 3Mbps DSL. I'm close to a 
switching station so the speed should be as advertised. My question 
is... will I experience a noticeable difference in performance 
compared to Comcast cable?

A related question about TV... is anyone using an indoor antenna to 
pick up the local TV channels successfully in Amherst? If so, any 
words of wisdom? I was thinking of using an amplified antenna and 
putting it as high as I can get it... second floor room, top of bookcase?

Thanx as always for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.

Blessings,
David
