FIOS sounds intense. Charter cable internet is one of the slowest in the country probably. I originally got cable when they introduced it long ago at 1.5mbps and I was like wow this is fast enough for anything. Then 3mbps came and it wasn't much better, and now, with game demos being so large, it takes 3 or more hours for some of them. Even things like the BF2 patch need to be thought of in advance and downloaded, since its going to take a while. Anything over 5mbps download would be insane. And, it costs us about $54 for the 3mbps/256kbps service!!
