On with the topic: It's about time symmetrical speeds are provided.. But how long before people abuse it with servers, and torrents maxing their upload all the time? I'm sure the FIOS headend can only support a few people consuming 20megabit.. If they are peering with OC12, it will only take 30 people to consume the entire thing. Even OC48 wont be able to handle such abuse from torrent seeders.

Maybe that's the reason they're not launching the higher tiers in all markets. Maybe it's offered based on the backbone capacity in an area?
Don't let them fool you with technical BS. Verizon and Cablevision are in a pissing match. I really wish Comcast would say something to piss Verizon off around here but I don't see it happening. Comcast is still stuck in their delusions of grandeur..."We are the BMW of ISPs" and doesn't really care about FIOS.
What sucks for me is that I am technically in the city I am fed by a CO that is out of the city limits so I haven't gotten FIOS yet. No word on when or if I ever will.
