My wife and I have FIOS and we love it. Its faster then DSL and we have not had a problem with it. We got the lowest package available but it is faster then DSL.

I keep checking, it's still not available in Philly. We have DSL currently and I just checked out the prices, with the exception of the ultra fast one, the other ones are lower than my current DSL :eek:

A family friend of ours has gotten Verizon FiOS for a diabetic family she's taking care of...not only did they like it, but I like it as well.

I would like to get it but I seriously doubt it's available here. I live in the middle of nowhere. I do have DSL though so I'm close enough to the CO for that. What speeds are you guys getting?

Ohio... my download is 10 MBpS and my upload is 5 MBpS. I have a constant feed of weather data going to the internet every 2 to 3 seconds and that is barely even putting a dent into my speed.
