FIOS is the best thing ever.
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.

Saddly, here in Ohio, time warner has a monopoly over the market, all I have is cable, I’m never going to get FIOS.
I hate you. 🙂
10-15 seconds? For a FIOS connection? For “standard” def? Just how high-def is this “standard” def anyways?!?!
It’s DVD quality 480p video downloaded from Live. It lets you begin to play the video once a large enough chunk is downloaded. I think in my case it usually downloads 30-40MB before playing – which is what takes 10-15 seconds. In other words, it’s very very fast.
FiOS is the ONLY way to go !!
BLOWS Optimum Online out of the freakin water……!!!!!
