That is awsome -- I cannot even imagine running at that speed. I have been on FIOS for awhile now and it is fast. No problems so far.

My laptop scored 4355 kbps download and 370 kbps upload, not too bad.

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.

Yeah John you told me about that.

Verizon has bumped up their speeds. 5meg down 2 meg up is now going to be 10down 2up

15/2 is now going to be 20/5, and 30/5 I heard was going to 50/5

If you already have fios and are not getting those speeds, call and inquire about it. I heard differant stories about it happening automatically, and not, I had to call.
