   Now, telling you that I pay 45 dollars a month for that speed is being mean! =P

2. Comment - Verizon to Launch Free Gaming Service

   (Aug 10, 2006 - 1:20 PM)

   I've had Verizon Fios for about 4 months now and I must say it is the best performing service I have had. I switched from Comcast to Fios and have experienced major improvement in latency and speed. Comcast was 6-down/256kb-up; Verizon 15-down/2-up. Recently received free ugrade to 20-down/5-up. It is consistently fast even at peak hours. Large files download fast and speed generally doesnt degrade over time (also depends on server-side). Latency for gaming went from 90-120ms to about 30-50ms. Fios is sweeet.
   
   Only downside is the equipment they need to install. Which is typically at the tap in your garage. Need about 18"x24" clear space for network box and ups back-up. Also note that they rip out your copper line in its entirety from the pole to your house, interior wiring is not effected. Also not sure how they plan to get Fios to people in apartment complexes.
   
   If its available in your area, definately reccomend it. Plus in New Jersey, they approved TV service for resale by Verizon. Which means better pricing. Looks like it will be available sometime in November.
   
   Cheers!
