    Started having some consistency issues about a year and a half ago. Sometimes when I'd try to open the browser I'd get a web page unavailable message. It started happening more and more and I ended up getting a new modem from Lightning Bolt. That worked fine for about six months but the last couple months when I try to open the web browser or click on a link within the browser, sometimes (now several times a day) it reroutes me to the url of the web browser itself and won't allow access to the internet. I've called Brent about it but he said that he needs for the problem to be occuring when I call him otherwise he can't troubleshoot it (this is logical and I don't have a complaint about this). But this is also our second consistency issue within the past 12 months. And these Verizon Fios bundle deals we keep getting in the mail will save us over $1000 a year ... they're starting to look really tempting ...

    Fios is avail and you still haven't jumped on it?!?

    I agree with waffleburger, I've been with Lightening Bolt for slightly over a year now, I have adsl2+ which cost me $129/month (+5 ips). If I had a FIOS choice, I would jump on FIOS in a heartbeat. Sure Lightening bolt connection has given me no problems and is solid but FIOS 20/20 @69.95/month!!! I could almost get 2 FIOS 20/20 packages for the same price I pay for my adsl2+.

    If FIOS is available in your area, wh not try them out; keep lightening Bolt and try FIOS for a few months if FIOS is reliable enough for you then drop DSL.
