Thumbs up Just got Verizon FIOS

Well they offer fios in my area for the same price i'm payin for dsl 30 bucks a month with free install and everything. They came today and it was done in two hours and they told me 5 down and my upload would be a lot better. Before FIOS I had 2568 down with 768 up....now with FIOS i'm 5008 down and 2744 up....it's a good deal for 30 bucks if you ask me. Anyone else have it.

Yeah the 15 down package is 45 a month and I thought about it and even with the one I have now a server is rarely gonna let me use it to the full advantage. But it's nice to know that it's there I was just surprised that they told me 5 down and I got it because we all know the speeds they advertise is under optimal conditions.

I get it for 30 a month still 20 cheaper then the Comcrap cable they claimed 5 but we got maybe 720k =/

I do the net speed test and being no one else has it I really get those speeds amazingly, my comp isn't anything great either.

Pages and other people are the weak link when I got the upgrade to 15, I didn't notice anything because it's what i'm getting it from is the weak link already.

Still didn't pay more for the 15 it was free upgrade for me.

I hope you enjoy it and yes **** is blazing fast, so I've been told

I have had it for a few weeks now. 15 down / 2 up for $39.99/month. Best internet ever. Makes my old Comcast cable seem like 56k.
