For some reason, Verizon is going through our neighborhood and upgrading all their customers phone and internet to FiOS. Starting next weekend, I'll have the fastest internet that you can get!

On average 15Mb Down/ 2Mb Up (for $50)

I think the lowest tier speed is around 10Mb Down/ 2Mb UP (for $30 or $40?) which still blasts most ISPs a-holes apart. The main advantage are those upload speeds

I'm not sure, but I could've sworn I heard him say 20 down/ 5 up to the person on the phone. If true then

So what, do you still have to pay a monthly fee? Or is it just the installation that's free. Lucky bastard.

Verizon has been doing that actually installing (meaning, installing the Battery, Transformer? and routing the copper right to the house) for free. Which is kinda insane but its Verizon taking the initiative when it comes to Fiber Optic routing to households. In a couple of years....Verizon is going to be sitting real good.

I would kiss every Verizon employee's feet if they did this in my apartment complex. That would be lovely.

After some research, it seems like installing to an Apartment could have its issues (mainly with the owner). I think they have to actually drill holes and install wiring to your apartments main PC. They also have to place the Battery pack somewhere within the apartment (the batter is for the phone line..I think internet too. If the power goes out...you'll have your phone line up for 8 hours).

Basically, you need the apartment owners permission. Also, a basic installation is supposed to take upwards of 4 hours.

We still have to pay a monthly fee for phone and internet. Together they were $70. They said it's being dropped to $65. *shrugs*

The installation is free. We have to pay a one time $19.99 activation fee, but they're giving us a $50 Target gift card to make up for it.

I'm wondering how those speeds are doable. Everything must be fast within the Asian Region but is there any noticable slow down when you try to access things outide of the region? 100Mbps just blows my mind.

Oh, definitely. Downloading certain files (torrents especially) can be slow at times, but I can also get several gigs within 30 minutes to an hour sometimes too. The only real problem I've encountered has been with the little PC gaming I've done. I found Guild Wars to be absolutely unplayable.

What the hell?

My old Verizon speed was at least 3000kb/s.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #37 on:** April 28, 2007, 08:24:45 PM »

I have the shittiest possible Verizon DSL. I just know it downgraded a while back...or something. I'm not paying, so I really can't complain.

But yea, my dad is cheap. I had 56k longer than pretty much all of my friends.

Lag. So for gaming I'm better off than you.

I have no idea how that's possible when your download rate is 20x mine.

yeah, but Beezy is better off when he downloads torrents.

So it's more beneficial, because we all know black people steal...

No shame in my download game.
