[5litrarag]

HOLY MFin' SHIT!


I knew this shit would be BLAZING fast if I got the 20/5 package. But I had no idea the results would be so close to advertised.

Its official...I'm a fan. :cig:

Thank you and good night. :steve:

[YORCHI]

I wish it was available in the apartments I'm going to

:sad:

[1EVLPNY]

Impressive, how much is it?

[SC2003]

Believe it or not, they don't have it in my area. Weird thing is tho, Verizon tore up all the streets around here in my neighborhood less then a year ago. :sad:

[dmark101]

nice speeds kevin. how much did they get you for it?

My brother and his crew from TX were doing the installs on the Fios he works for verizon. he told me that it all depends on where the station center is "Box" PM me your address and I'll ask if this is coming in your area soon

[5litrarag]

the 20/5 package I got includes phone, internet and TV (dont remember how many channels, but its got HD channels in it and thats what I care about) and its 110 bucks...which is the middle package they are doing on the promotion right now. And then after 60 days they send you a 150 bucks visa gift card.
This fuckin deal is KILLER.

[fdogg96]

so..thats like supercharged net? :look:

That might have been for phone lines or maintenance I'll bet... apparently they hang the boxes out on the poles and then run the fiber line directly to the convertor box mounted outside your house when you order. Thats where the insane speeds come from.

[badboy]

thats fast nice kevin

[5litrarag]

thats fast nice kevin

I'm lovin it... Porn, errr, sports videos have never looked so good. :look:

Don't believe that was phone lines or he's not in the fios zone.

It's a drop from the pole and the box is on your house

[Black96SVT]

not bad kevin. the most U-verse has is 18Mbps, and that speed alone is 75/mo just for the internet :eek:

I've got 6Mbps and it's not too bad. The TV is where it really shines though... tons of nice features there. :cheers:

[V3NOM3S]

damn thats pretty good, I checked a while ago and didn't have the services where I live.

[BondoSHO]

FIoS is win. If it was available in my area, I'd drop cable for it in a second. My cable speeds are 15/2, but Time Warner has something called "Powerboost" which doubles your download rate for the first few minutes of your download, but it's not consistent.

[StriderTacticaL]

Dude my internet is blazing fast

Yeah fuck Time Warner... when I first got cable internet it was pretty good, but as people in the neighborhood got it, it went downhill. And customer service was non existent.

charter's the same way. i'm lucky that not everyone in the neighborhood as their internet services. yet.

I've had FIOS since launch day ~4 years ago, and with the online stuff I get to add/delete shows from my DVR sitting at home, from anywhere :)

Yeah I could do that with TIVO too back when I had that and do it through my Treo.... Pretty cool shit.

[Blanco32v]

i needs :sad:

[AutoBadges]

I so wanted FioS, but it's not offered in my area 90008 :(

I had TWC, they suck for service and pricing, so I went with Dish Network....good prices and lots more HD channels. Internet I had to do TWC, but it's pretty quick, I have their like TURBO or whatever. When I get home I want to check the speed...is it speedtest.net?

[dmark101]

yes, it's speedtest.net. :nod:


me? i ditched the tv service from charter due to the simple fact that they had so few HD channels. their pricing wasn't too bad, but i didn't like that their non-promo prices were a lot higher when compared to the service i switched to: directv. i had the dish when i first moved in here, but switched to charter so i could get their high speed internet, not for their pricing.

i'm happy with their internet, so i kept it when i switched the tv. :)

[Kameleongt]

im with dish now and was thinking of switching to someone else I dont get fios in my area and im about to check about uverse. but I doubt its offered :( how is direct tv's HD line up?

[dmark101]

it's not bad. with the plus option, you get a lot of channels in HD, like speed tv, cartoon network, sci fi channel and a lot of others.

with charter, i was barely getting maybe 15 HD channels, including the local channels.

[Kameleongt]

maybe ill try out direct after comparing it seems they are very similar to dish with the hd line up

[AutoBadges]

SpeedTest.net gets an error trying to test my speed :(

[Kameleongt]

^ i got the same error

[dmark101]
