This sounds quite conspiratorial but hear me out:<p>I first had Xfinity but it kept cutting out in the middle of calls which is unacceptable for me. So I got FIOS.<p>For a few months, Xfinity worked flawlessly. I'm talking four entire months, not a single drop. Went from many drops to zero drops.<p>So I cancelled Verizon. The next day, Xfinity started dropping again.<p>I got Verizon again, and again Xfinity worked flawlessly for months. Finally I canceled Verizon AGAIN and Xfinity is now cutting out AGAIN.<p>Might they be sharing some equipment? I have no idea. One is "fiber" and the other is "copper" but they must share some infrastructure at some point. Also I doubt these companies are even sophisticated enough to operate a cartel at this level. But that being said—they ended up extracting nearly $1k from me in spurious Verizon payments.<p>Based in Boston.
