anyone using this new speed they offer?
i just called them to upgrade mine from 15/2 to 15/15..
this is going to be insane!!

 

Do you host a server? I see no reason to switch from my 20/5 setup I have now and I do have a server running where I can stream music and movies just fine over most wifi when I am away from home.

I would rather have 30/15

 

I would go for the fastest download, though it is very nice to able to upload quickly since I basically use gmail as a file server

 

I would love to upload that fast. I wish TW offered it. I have the 15 down and 1^

 

10/1, id be lucky to hit 7 though....its comcastic!

 

 

i use alot of dvd private torrent site..with the upload speed..it will help my ratio greatly.

also it was a bargain for me because they charge me only 55 month because i've been a long time customer..(had dsl with them for 3 years than fios for 2 1/2 years now)

my 15/2 costed me 49.95
6 buck more for 15/15 is a bargain ya?

also i heard they are testing 30/30 for residental lines in california..

 

I have 15/15 FIOS, costs me $50 a month. Free install, no other charges

 

You lucky guys.

I do have DSL Stand Alone 1.5/256k paying $37.95

 

Totally makes sense now

I wouldn't mind it but I would get the 20/20 deal but thats like $15/m more then my 20/5 and since I dont upload torrents, just download them then fuck it.

Thing about uploads and downloads is it is dependant on how fast the server is. The only time I see my actual speed being used is when downloading from newsgroups.

 

After 3 years they still haven't upgraded the lines in our area.

 

I've got fios 15/2 and I'm happy with it. The 2mbps makes me able to vpn in from anywhere and do stuff, which was really hard with the 512 upload speeds on the DSL. 15 up would probably be a waste for most people unless they're using it for servers or what you're doing.

I'm wonder if they keep track of people with residential 15/15 plans and keep those ready to hand over to the riaa/mpaa

 

I wish I could get Fios around here. I live in a Brighthouse.

 

x2
and they dont offer it in my area.

 

Verizon has said several times that they don't give a shit.

 

I have business class 50/15 service to my home. It's awesome. Real world speeds look more like 36/8 though:

 

Do they give static IPs with business class? If so can you get more than one?

 

Yes. I have 5 in a range... .00 - .04

 

Nice Soopa

I have Cablevision and get on average this



but I keep contemplating Boost which would up it to 30/5

And I am near the main node so even when it is heavy usage I still get close to this.

 

verizon ftw

 

I am uploading something right but real world its usually 17/3 now but its 20/5 Fios

 

Similarly, Verizon's head-end is just down the road and the area splitter is literally at the end of my driveway.

Installers said I took the record for latency to the central office by 3ms

 

That is nice when you get the luck of the draw like that.

 

over wireless

 

isn't there a 50/50 over fios?

 

Roadrunner FTL



it looks like BELGACOM has the best

If they don't I am sure they will



The whole time they were installing it I was talking to my fios guys and they were telling me with Fiber they can up it to whatever they want because its now there lines or something another, I am guess when they used "municipal" lines they had a limit or the wires themselves had a limit. Dont quote me but with fios they were saying they could up it to whatever they want in the future.

I am happy I live in a basically verizon run city, we get shit as soon as they announce it. I don't think you can get another local phone line except for smaller companies and commercial companies.

 

If they can run as fast as they want then where the hell is HD VOD?
My FIOS VOD chokes on SD if I don't reboot the Actioncrap once a month.
Oh and my DVR reboots once a day since the software update.

Roadrunner (testing the Germantown one usually yields slower results for me)

 

that's wierd. i wonder why that is.

 

?? im consistently just over 15 with the speakeasy. With them im usually in the 11 to 14000 range

 

damn verizon! fios is still not available in our area it sucks.

 

Which area? You list THREE in your profile!
