Switched from Time Warner's Road Runner to Verizon FiOS this morning. Holy hell, I'm stoked. The upload speed is GDLK!

FiOS:

49 times faster upload speed and double the download, which I was always happy with anyway. Gaming will feel so good on my end now. Also, the television side is much more sophisticated to boot.

That's the funny part, I'm saving 40% a month with the switch. This was actually done to save money, yet ended up being a huge upgrade.

Verizon Fios is the boss. We in San Diego have been pushing hard to get it. Its unavailable here but in other parts like in L.A and northern Cali its there. And seems like all signs point to soon for us. Once its out ill be on it too for sure.

Just got my Fibre Optic down my street last week, and im the first in the apartment block to get it installed. Its the exact same price per month as what i was getting so heres the comparison.....



Sky Broadband (previous ISP)

BT Infinity (new ISP)

Also the BT Infinity speed test i just did is at 12 noon (peak time start) so i will try it at around 1-2AM, when my internet always has gone faster. Ohhhh im excited!!

This is the same package/speed I've had for 5 years or more now, it was the fastest I could get back then. Lately I've considered switching as some of the other providers seem to be offering better speeds/value for money. What stops me is that this is the only ISP I've had that didn't throttle my speed/bandwidth despite all my downloading and it is an obscene amount of downloading. In fact two of the ISPs I used before allowed me to leave my fixed contract early without any charge just to get rid of me. :lol:

Get it out dude. Most of the big guns are offering fibre optic for £18 a month, which is a no brainer, unless your using a crap package "made to look good" like Skys TV, Phone and Broadband for £20.

I can't even get fiber optic broadband here yet and most likely not for awhile as I live in a tiny seaside town.
