FiOS Anyone?

[guitarplyrstevo]

I just heard about Verizon using optical fiber in their new internet and television services. Has anyone else on here heard about FiOS or have it?

Well i cant say i have, but i live in australia so we are STILL stuck to adsl 1024/512 but thats cool
Were able to get adsl2+ soon and thats 24mbps

Sounds fast with the optical fibre, but i bet ya they will have problems with it LOL

 

[guitarplyrstevo]

well one problem is the fibers cant bend a lot because its light passing through the glass. other than that they say its cool.

its $50 (US) a month for 15 mbps.

FiOS looks promising, can't wait til its available in my area. Best part is, its blows away DSL speedwise and will cost about the same!!

Cable: 784 up 8000 down. Put that in your FIOS and smoke it!!

 

[Mjmitch2]

umm, FiOS is faster

Found this on some site.

Unlimited Plus
16Mbps (320 times faster than a dial-up connection)
Unlimited downloads
Free high speed ethernet modem
£19.50 for the first 2 months, £24.50 thereafter

Looks like the US is still behind.
