FiOS is overbuilt like everything else and is starting to see big slowdowns during prime hours in populated areas. The honeymoon's over. Check the Verizon forum.
I'm callin BS there. Where are these purported slowdowns?

My 15/2 has NEVER skipped a beat.
I've been following FiOS forum for a while, skimming here and there, not reading every topic or post. I see occasional instances which show congestion, but it has not been well organized about where the congestion is. A lot of people report seeing the congestion going to non-Verizon sites; it is hard to know immediately where the bottle necks are placed (after all, they could be at Verizon, for instance, in their NSA-copy room, or at the peering sites, or someplace else). Very occasionally a post about a more obviously Verizon site (their test site) will show congestion, but we'll have to start waiting for people who are doing file transfers from a 20/20 or 15/15 to another 20/20 or 15/15 (or at least to another 20/5 or 15/2 or whatever) both on FiOS to see where the slowdowns really are. If such posts exist, they aren't widespread yet, but obviously I missed them and they'd be important.

Anyway, are you going to suddenly claim that because a handful of octets got dropped or delayed, that the entire system is too slow? It is obviously way faster than most other systems as delivered. How much, we'll see with time.
