The speed is just what they say it is and is not shared, unlike cable. Kudos Verizon, this is the speed and reliability I have been waiting for from my internet provider.  I've used other ISPs in the past and was not as happy with them.  I would highly recommend FIOS to...

If you get to talk to someone on the phone BEFORE you die of old age, they are EXTREMELY rude and obnoxious!!! Hallmark was about the best thing on tv, and MSNBC.They took off 2 channels that were OK, but they raised the price. Then they took away another channel and raised the price.The last time they took off Hallmark, and raised the price. I had enough and switched my service to FIOS.  What an...

It doesn't burn out as quickly as conventional light bulbs and the brightness is the same. I like the fact that it is a green product and will help save our environment. They are slightly more expensive but in the long run you save money by not purchasing them as often. I have replaced all my light bulbs with these....

This is one that I confidently can reccomend for family viewing. It brings fairy tales into the twenty-first century. The movie is just what I imagined it would be and the songs were as much fun as the many Disney animated movies.  I recommend this movie to families with kids of various...

This 45-piece wooden puzzle measures 15.75" x 11.75".  The pieces are marked with the names of the states on one side and the names of the capitals on the other.  Recommended for ages 4-8 years. My five year old had much more interest in the puzzle than my two year old did at the time but my two year old enjoyed helping mommy complete the...

It seems a bit smaller than I remember but it was still fun to play with my daughterr, but we'll probably enjoy it more when the kids are a little older. It is fairly durable and brightly colored, and it is easy to store. It's a nice blast from the past for me and has taught my kids the classic tic tac toe...
