Verizon FiOS → Re: [northeast] FIOS Now Available to JeepMatt in Delaware!

I had my 1st taste of FIOS yesterday...visited my old roommates's sister's house in Malvern for a BBQ.

It was a new Toll Brothers development on Rte 401 - it was built from the ground up wired for FIOS! I was able to see the ONT, the batter backup in the garage, and she let me play on her laptop..of course i did a speed test and tracert...lol.

5ms to get out of the Verizon network..surprisingly the next carrier(at least here in the Philly area) is Alter.net (as opposed to ATT.net w/Comcast). But 5ms?? Sweet.

Speed tests were 4800/1700. She laughed and told me to let her know how I like it after Tuesday.

Interesting about alter.net being the new verizon carrier. When did they switch over? Routing is the same on my dsl here. alter.net is the mci/uunet network isn't it??

Yes, alternet and uunet are MCI which is now Verizon. I guess that Verizon is starting to put their investment to use and will be migrating traffic off of L3 and Qwest.
