RCN vs Comcast

Hi all. Long-time listener, first-time caller.

I am moving to Davis Sq next month and am in the process of setting up my utilities.

Wondering if anyone has any insight into RCN vs Comcast for phone/cable/internet.

I saw some scattered posts on this topic in the archive, but none too recently.

Any help would be appreciated.

There was an NPR where Vz claimed that Somerville didn't want Fios, but Mayor Curtatone was on too and publically asked Vz to come to the table to talk to the city, and that yes, indeed, Somerville was interested.

Personally, I think that Vz just doesn't want to HAVE to negotiate with each municipality because they lose their bargaining power.
