Just got FiOS Installed about 10 min ago

I had Time Warner before which the best it gave me was 5.5down/768up. This is over my wireless network. This is through a 15/5 connection so I'm getting faster than what I paid for.

You can't post stuff like that on atot, some turbo nerd will post theres and always blow your stats away.

 

[waggy]

Shitty Verizon DSL

Oh those numbers are great, but then you'll realize that you're at the remote server's mercy when you go to download things, and you'll cry a bit. Such is life.

Welcome to the club I have a 15/5 connection.

No, that just means you can max out the connections to multiple servers at the same time and still have enough bandwidth left over to play games and browse the internet at the same time.

Comcast and other cable companies are offering better speeds than FIOS now with many having 100 meg connections.

Hmm.. I think i might just do that

Yea my upload is slow but the downloads are almost the same. My upload is still worlds faster than it was before.

 

[Aharami]

my download is pretty good. upload is lacking though. But I'm pretty happy right now. Just a few months ago, I used to get 5-6 Mbps down and .7-1 up. Then verizon started laying FIOS cables in my town. I love competition

Yea but with the caps they have, it won't be worth it.

$129 per month for the 50/20 connection that i've got, works great..i've had it for a lil over a year now, it's never gone down..then again comcast has always been great for me...I live in 'uptown' Minneapolis, in a rather densely populated area.

 

[ViviTheMage]

Yea but with the caps they have, it won't be worth it.

I asked about that, they said they would not cap...i've also tested it, I let a torrent go up at 1.5MB/s for a full month, never heard a word.

It's not something I do commonly though.

Yes I can get a 50Mb line from Comcast for 2x the cost I'm paying Verizon for their extreme HD TV service w/ DVR and 25/15 internet. 100Mb would be double that probably.

Time to download the entire internet...

I've got it stored safely on a 16MB SD card.
