Some of you commented on my switch a while back from FIOS to cable as part of a new service bundle, suggesting I would not be happy with that part of the change. As it turns out, while my service has generally been reliable, I still get these momentary disconnects that hinder gaming in particular. I'm fed up to the point where I will order FIOS and give up on the triple-play bundle (our local politicians botched their negotiations with Verizon, and they don't offer TV here). You can now say I told you so.
