I’m so jealous… that’s awesome, I didn’t even realize FIOS was anywhere near here.

I hate to break it to you but do you read Engadget? Comcast announced they were experimenting with prototype 160mbps/120mbps Internet access. Sorry. Your new Internet is now officially slow.
Of course my first question was “will they throttle it back down like they’re doing with their P2P-using customers?” but I suppose other providers will follow suit with faster speeds if they want to stay in business.
(Yes, I am jealous of your speed.)
I heard FIOS is supposed to be very affordable (I did some research a couple years back as part of a Networking class assignment) in places where it’s available. When I get my own place I’m definitely going to be looking into it.

I am jealous - sort of.
I noticed the other day that all of a sudden every thing was screaming - did a couple of speed tests from speedtest.net and I was showing better than 22Mbits.
I was stoked. Of course, my upload still sucks at just over 1024, but….
I looked for FiOS in my area, not available - time to move, me thinks….
Enjoy Brandon!
