Before switching providers I'm waiting to see who will get Big Ten Network first, FIOS or Cox. I'm outside the traditional Big Ten region, so I fear neither will come soon. I suppose I should consider DirecTV.

FiOS is supposed to have the Big Ten Network in 2008. FiOS is also supposed to have 50-100 HD channels in 2008. I expect FiOS will have the Big Ten Network by August.

The Indiana Daily Student has learned Verizon FiOS will carry the Big Ten Network starting in April 2008. A little late for IU fans for this year, but this might put a little more pressure on Comcast."

"I received this email from Verizon this week. However, the rep didn't indicate a specific date for when the BTN will be available on FIOs. I am guessing it's related to their big upgrade and addition of 150 HD channels in 2008.

We plan to add Big Ten Network in 2008, and you�ll get it with the same great picture quality you�ve come to expect from Verizon FiOS TV. Meanwhile, you�ll be able to watch some Big Ten men�s basketball games on ESPN, ESPN2 and CBS, which we carry in both high-def and standard-def. Check out this schedule:
