My Verizon FiOS

[JRock]

49.99 a month for 15megs down 2megs up! Sorry just felt like braggin... kinda...

 

[Excelsior]

We don't get FiOS here yet...it will be nice when we do though!

 

[Coquito]

I'll probably take the 5/2 plan for $40, minus the $5 existing discount.

 

[BigJ]

Ahh Wantagh. Bastards. I'm literally not even 10 miles away from the towns that do have it, but it's still not available where I am.

I can't wait for this to be available in my area.

Can anyone that actually has this chime in on actual speeds they've got?

People over at DSL Reports report actual speeds of 13mbps down, and over 1.25mbps up.

even that for 50 a month is well worth it.

i just got fios, multiple speedtests show about 14.5mbit download and 1.75mbit upload. of course, this was to a New York server (i live in NY). when testing to West Coast servers, speeds dropped to like 5mbit - 10mbit download and .5mbit - 1mbit upload. but thats a given with any connection.

in real usage i have easily and regularly hit 220KB/s upload speeds, i have yet to see an impressive download maximum. i moved from Cablevision (damn their upload capping, they suspended my account), where the max I ever saw was 1375KB/s down (about 11mbit) and 120KB/s up (about 1mbit).

but i have a question for you technology experts out there... cable afaik is asynchronous: if i use my full upload it chokes my download speed. is fibre asynchronous or synchronous? can i get the full upload speed while also getting full download speed? one would hope "new" tech like this would be synchronous

[intogamer]

DAMN I think I saw a VZ truck install some black wires =O

 

[KarenMarie]

I am SOOOOOOO jealous, I could scream with envy.

Not in my area yet. Best I have available is Comcast $57.99 per month for *up to* 4mb down and 384 up

Grrhhh....

you are sooooooo lucky.

 

[NTB]

Any way to find out where they're putting this in? Just for curiosity

[akubi]

i've been using fios for about two months. it's the best internet i've experienced :laugh:

 

[JackBurton]

I'm planning on moving to a FIOS area VERY soon. And I'm jumping all over the 30/5 plan.

 

[rh71]

I'm actually out of the Levittown CO which apparently hasn't begun setting up yet. Next town over from Wantagh... :|

 

[MrCodeDude]

Stupid Verizon and no FIOS in the Bay Area

1.25Mbps is not even close to 2Mbps ... what's up with that ?

They quote "speeds up to" so it doesn't mean they guarantee it 24/7.
