Colorado Springs, CO | Lets not forget all the advertising money wasted I'm a subscriber and I get daily mailings about getting FIOS. They're probably throwing away at least 5 dollars a week at stuffing my mailbox full of advertising better spent on a non subscriber.

Suffern, NY | said by NOCMan:I'm a subscriber and I get daily mailings about getting FIOS. They're probably throwing away at least 5 dollars a week at stuffing my mailbox full of advertising better spent on a non subscriber. I am a Cablevision Boost (30Mbs/5Mbs) user and a week does not go by without my getting a Verizon Junk Mailer telling me about their "Great" slow speed (xMbs/xxxKbs) DSL support. Since I am not in the market for a major downgrade, I wish they would save some money by stopping this unwanted Junk Mail and use it to send me a FIOS offer instead (it is available in my area but because I live in a 4 unit per building condo they are unwilling to offer it to me). |

Trenton, NJ | OOL speedboost? You must be kidding right?! That speedboost is nothing but a joke as is OOL. 30mbps you rarely get, and will only get if it's "cached". AND say HELLO to the OOL CAP! You hit the "hidden untold" cap and you'll be downloading at 0kbps. FiOS offers 20/5 service - yes it's a free upgrade from the 15/2(5) in most major markets and comes with guess what NO HIDDEN CAPS! You can d/l as much and as often as you want! So tomorrow when you login you'll still be at the same speed! Cable is SHARED bandwidth people and they just can't compete with fiber to the house! |

Do you know what your talking about? Nope ive been an Optonline customer since i signed up on here. Well THe speeds are consistant throughout the whole grid in the US. you telling me you guys on 20/20 fios are in NY get 20mb/20mb to west coast Los Angles Server Speakeasy.net speed test. Dont use internal network speeed test they always are higher. Use an external source which uses a tier 1 backbone, Usually OC192. Tier 2 backbones OC-12 usually wont give u an accurate test.
But DWAFO i upload so many torrents my year to date is 700GB Uploaded and 1.2TB Downloaded. Im not capped. Now Boost = no caps. Sorry but i never heard of your claims by any Cisco Certified Techs. Yea i hold a CCNA |
