FIOS is fast. Greasy weasel fast. - Trouble - 06-20-2011
Speakeasy speedtest 35.08 Mbps down 32.38 Mbps up
Speedtest.net 43.10 Mbps down 29.76 Mbps up 10 ms ping
Not too shabby.

What's it cost where you are? Or can it not be unbundled from TV/phone etc.?

I'm getting the triple bundle (internet, phone, TV) for $118 a month. I'm sure just the internet can be ordered but not sure of the price for only the internet.

Yes it is. When I had fiber service with Surewest, my upload speeds blew away Comcast's download speeds.

Introductory rate?
That's about what I am paying for just 25/5 internet & TV with 2 boxes (1 HD-DVR and 1 SD non-DVR). Still thinking about dropping the TV and going to OTA and Netflix et al for TV.

Man, that's amazing. And frustrating. I've got a main fiber running down the main road, 200 yards from my house. All I get is Time Warner. Who should include a picture of a gun with their bills, because it's armed robbery.

My great grandkids aren't going to live long enough to ever see FIOS on the poles and in homes here.
That according to the Verizon rep that called soliciting one day.
I can have 3G that sometimes works.
