If you get internet via comcast and television with DirecTV, then your internet will be about 50 bucks a month and the DirecTV would be about 60 depending on what equipment you want (DVR etc.) FiOS is Fiber Optic Service that Verizon is working to get everywhere that can provide you with all the TV, Internet and Telephone you need. I'm considering switching over, but not right now. If you like, after the holiday (say Jan 12th) I can borrow some test gear and see if the problem is a frequency falloff in your house, where a simple 30 or 40 dollar amplifier would fix it, or if it's more major. Don't trust the Comcast techs, they use simple testers that can't check for what a spectrum analyzer can. How many splitters are on your main cable into the house? me Reason I ask is that I don’t know how you get to the internet, sometimes it’s a bundle from Comcast.

I want the three major networks, FOX, the Discovery collective, Sci-Fi, and BBC America. I don't even know what FIOS is. I don’t want anything other than television.

Depends on what you want other than tv programming though. Don't suppose FIOS has made a trip to your area yet. dish network and direct tv offer all those, and are more competitive cost wise than comcast.
