is this FiOS related or Verizon wireless related? I dont think FiOS uses the "America's most reliable network" slogan?

It's not FiOS. I have received this message and do not have FiOS associated with my Verizon account.

Yeah sorry I thought of that later. I have both & the text came from a number that emails me about my Verizon Fios account so assumed it was Fios

Maybe I’ll finally get service in east falls. I don’t know how I can be 5 miles from the center of one of the nations biggest cities and not be able to use my phone without wifi

Huh never had that happen to me. Where in East Falls does this happen to you usually? If you don't mind

I'd maybe hit them up via chat for a reset or something, tell them your issues. I'm in EF and walk my dog several miles a day all around the neighborhood, haven't encountered any dead zones (although I'm not one of those people buried in my phone the whole walk, I do take it out occasionally to check/respond to messages).

FIOS was down for roundabouts an hour last nite/this morning from around midnight until around 1 am.

Wonder if they already started this yesterday. When I got home from work, the wifi wasn't working and I had to reboot the wifi router to get it back on. That's not happened before. Of course it could be an issue with the router, but now I wonder if it was just some interruption of service (at any time earlier in the day) that upset the router.

Also don’t be fooled by the people coming around asking for your account number to send you a gift card. I had a girl come to my door the other day doing that shit, she had a badge and a Verizon jacket. The badge looked a little janky so we called Verizon after I sent her away and come to find out i was right and it was a scam.

Can confirm Fios > Xfinity. I had maybe 1 disruption this past year and it last a couple of hours.

I don’t know if I’ve ever had a service interruption on FiOS in 3-4 years

Same. With Comcast they needed to send a technician out 2-3 times a year for some random issue. Zero issues with fios for 4-5 years

Yeah I’m still inclined to say Fios is better despite this

Are you able to use starlink? That's what I got because CenturyLink is so bad

I was looking into that before Elon turned into a full-fledged Bond villain.

Eh, starlink is really helpful to Ukraine so I'm fine spending money on it.

Especially when the other options are Bright speed (fmr CenturyLink) and some 4g wireless from some religious company.
