Verizon FIOS

[Kamal]

Hate living in the armpit of America... I SOOO want this

Not content with blazing up your local connection at 20Mbps downstream and up, Verizon has once again bumped its already-painfully-fast FiOS broadband service into the realm of ridiculous. According to reports, the company is now offering a 30Mbps / 15 Mbps service at $89.95 a month, and the nerve-shattering 50 Mbps / 20 Mbps speed at $139.95. The telecom has also introduced symmetrical connections in all 16 states where it currently offers FiOS service, with a 20Mbps / 20Mbps on the up and down, starting at $64.99. Of course, it's all bleeps and buzzes in our particularly lonely corner of Brooklyn, where we'll have to suffer the indignation of a lowly 10Mbps connection until the big V blesses us with some real speed... you hearing us, dudes?

Re: Verizon FIOS

Shit like that doesn't matter at all unless the site you are visiting supports that amount of bandwidth.

Re: Verizon FIOS

if I had the $$ OK and the time saved was worth it...I'd be in.

ITM, DSL FINALLY is available in my area...I'll probably take the 2Mbps hit for over half the price, barring Comcast when I call matches the price for a few months more...then calling them again...and again...
