Lesson learned, you just might have it better than you think you do.

I wanted Time warner, but don't live in their area anymore.
I dont think I complained about comcast, I just said my contract is ending and I want someting better than comcast

and a dvr that has 8 tuners?
what the hell?
and If I want to have a 2 TV boxes, Ie 2 tvs, I pay an extra $5/month?

holy cheap
Im so on it when I get down with comcast

The big difference between TW and Comcast is the box. Comcast had coax in (from wall) and coax out (to TV). TW is coax in and HDMI out. That results in a number of channels displaying at about half screen - irritating! I'm not seeing a very noticeable difference in the HDMI out to worry about it. 'Cept maybe live broadcasts. Smart thing would be to have both HDMI AND coax out but that is brain surgery. If you watch a lot of streaming movies Google Fiber should work. Although I doubt if it would be as good as a Blue Ray DVD.

Dumbest thing about TW is the duplication! Channels 2 - 79 are ALL duplicated in channels 101 - 216 and higher with only a few added. Seriously stupid! Get the same HD and non HD channels in the lower and upper channel range. DUH!

huh?
DVD vs streaming movies?>

DVDs are done, blue ray, HD, SD.....I don't care.. do you not watch a movie/tv show cause its not in HD?
no
do I watch any of the 300+ dvds I have?
nope
too much trouble rather watch TV or Netlflix

google Fiber tv works because it's better than competition

According to my eyeballs, Blueray DVD video quality is better than streaming from Netflix and Amazon and I subscribe to both and my eyeballs would never lie to me! Streaming is good for old(er) movies according to me. I also get bandwidth errors from HD movies, mostly Amazon and mostly the movies I "rent". Prime movies too but not that much. I also like streaming for the very, very few TV series I watch, i.e. "The Americans", and documentaries.

didnt say there wasnt a quality difference, eh?
I said quality difference is meaningless..
and not at all why I wanted Fiber TV
.My eyeballs read the words and didnt just post what was on my mind cos I ant got no one to listen to me ramble on about some nonsense.
peace out, yo

My experience on the movie quality is- Netflix is what it is, but the 'On Demand' stuff direct from Google is BluRay quality. The movie selection on Netflix, IMO, is shit- I watch it for the tv shows and the more esoteric stuff. Anything big, new and shiny I'm going to watch On Demand , and the quality of picture and sound is outstanding.

Friends that left directv, uverse, and dish to switch to google tv all regretted it. I have Google hs Internet with directv and love it. Best of both worlds.

A year ago,google fiber was asking for feedback(through a 3rd party) on offering a faster(free) entry level speed(10mb vs. 5mb) with a membership to a certain streaming provider. And, the streaming provider was offering a slight discount on the monthly fee. I'm sure that's all i can say!!
