TWC vs. Verizon Fios

[CellarRat]

Verizon has a good product especially considering the Internet speed. I'm thinking about switching. The only thing holding me back is the Siena games on TWSC. I was told by a Verizon sales guy that I could get the TWC games on Verizon tv.

Is that true?

ATT Uverse is nice and is similar to Fios- I would reccommend you do it, but not sure if you would be able to get Saint games if you are in the Capital Region due to the local blackout rule.

Side note: Really thinking about dropping cable overall because of the advent of Youtube TV and similar services. Cost is outrageous.

TWSC is a proprietary channel and content that TWC will probably not share. Why would they? It is their competitive advantage. That said, many games are on ESPN3 BUT many are blacked out locally.

I get the base TWC package for hoop season as I'm on DirecTV Now/Apple TV otherwise.

No, this is not true.

The ESPN3 blackout lasts only till one hour after the game is completed. The game is then available on demand.

Thanks for the responses. Do salesman ever tell the truth? Hopefully Siena will drop TWCSC and go with ESPN3 without blackouts of course.
