FIOS is the best thing ever.

Cool Stuff, Life of Brandon

In case you were wondering.

It takes 10-15 seconds for a (standard def) video from Xbox Live to be ready to play.
I frequently download files at about 2 MB/sec from good servers.
Orb is amazing with 15mbps upload
Same goes for Remote Desktop
Bit Torrents aren’t choked by stupid Comcrap throttling software
My connection doesn’t drop momentarily every few minutes like it did with Comcrap, kicking Trillian off of AIM and causing lag in Halo.
Sure, it’s not even been a week, but the service has been operational 100% of that time. No middle of the night service interruptions so far.
