    No Fiber Yet - Just Copper :-(
    I'm jealous. Verizon doesn't have FiOS in my area yet. I've been waiting patiently.

    Got to ask. What does this cost a month?

    My sister-in-law, in Atlanta, has fiber to her house and didn't even realize how great she had it. Cost her like $30 a month. ne_nau.gifWhen I plugged in the work computer and fired up Outlook, over VPN, it was like I was sitting in my cube, but of course with a southern accent.rolleyes1.gif

    That said, I will be switching to FiOS as soon as it is available to me. It costs MUCH less for the same services as far as I can tell. Like $96/month for phone, internet and TV.

    Just ran my own test and got 2301 kb/s download and 309 kb/s upload. It tested it from my house to smugmug.net clap.gif Second test got me 3701/315. If i keep doing it will it get as fast as Nikolai?:ivar

    Comcast Cable doesn't rock like Cox Communications or Verizon.

    One street over (ChrisP6) and I could have DSL, which is 2x for the same price. :(:
