Ow, I downloaded ~220GB in about 6 hours yesterday while browsing the internet and playing CSGO.
That's sweet. I think we pay $100/mo with TV. Charter in Texas was $60/mo for tons of TV and 60/20. :\

Both downloads just hit exactly 4 days of dowloading, and now one dropped to 150KB/s and is saying one day more wile the other is at 2MB/s and saying 5 hours. o_O

Since this past July (reinstalled windows) I've downloaded 1.65TB. Since April of last year only 2.06TB.

Maybe I don't download that much. :p Then again all my streaming/youtube is done on my phone

I have been redownloading some things this past week and a half because of my new hard drive. My normal use should be somewhat lower.

Hate how it gets dark so early now. It's 4:30 and it's pitch black outside. Does not help that I got up late, by the time I was showered and all it was like 3 and starting to get dark.

I'll be starting night shifts tonight, so wont be seeing any sunlight for a while. Get home when it's dark and leave when it's dark. Though that goes for day shift too really.

Time to load up on some vitamin D tablets.

FIOS is the only time I've ever gotten more.

Our plan is 55/45 but we get 65/60. Which is funny because Verizon Wireless is a horrific scam.

FiOS should have updated their speed tiers in your area, I thought they had gone sequential across their entire network by this point.


Around here the cheapest is 25/25, then 50/50, 75/75, 100/100, 150/150, 300/300, and 500/500.

I just checked their site. In our area the NEW plans you can sign on for are 50, 100, and 150. We dont have the higher speeds in our neighborhood yet.
And it seems they dont want to offer anything lower cuz they know we can pay. I bet poor neighborhoods have different options.

They probably upgraded you to 50/50 and since the FiOS set top box for TV also uses internet, they provision 5-10Mb/s more which is why you currently see around 60mbps :p
