 | | Fios is not everything its made out to be
Fios is not everything its made out to be.I live in Eastern Washington in a town less than 20 blocks long by 6 blocks wide. We have the lowest electric prices in the country (1.85 cents per kilowatt) and 25 plus years ago give or take the county installed fiber optic.
There are 6 companies that basically you can choose from but they all really suck. My cable modem gets faster connetion than fios through Homenetnw.net (former Vib.tv).
This is a speed test result directly to the counties server, Checking for Middleboxes . Done running 10s outbound test (client to server) 54.28Mb/s running 10s inbound test (server to client) 94.77Mb/s Server unable to determine bottleneck link type.
These results from »speeder.whidbey.net/
Http connection opened in 0 milliseconds Test performed in 68219 milliseconds Total bytes downloaded: 5242880 bytes Throughput: 0.5863469 Mbps
Your line speed is estimated to be 717 Kb/s
(based on an average TCP overhead of 15%)
I pay $44 a month for fios and $30 a month for cable
It is the companies that screw up connecting users to the pipeline of the internet. So shop around and forget contracts, talk to neighbors and see who is using what and why.
Peace
