TDF I am glad you love yor FIOS. I have been installing it for about 8 months, and it seems all of our customers love it. Some people don't understand the difference between the Fios and the cable internet. I usually do a speed test before I swap someone to the Fios. 9 times out 10 the speed test on the cable will give different speeds if I do the test multiple times within minutes of each other. I have never seen a cable upload faster than about 500 Kbs/s. Ours is always 1500 Kbs/s to 1800 Kbs/s. Also the rumor around the company is that they are going to bump the 5meg service upto 10 meg in the future, and leave it at the 5meg price.

This week I am in school for the video, and all I can say is wow..


If anyone is interested in speed test, we usually use this one:

I currently have 15 meg service at home, and I love it.
