Re: i want GigE

You want more speeds then you will pay more price expensive because ISPs need to buy more crap bandwidth to feeds customers a faster like crap if you want 1Gbits/500Mbits then just pay up 150 dollars to 200 dollars a month!

No,

My fios is faster and cheaper than cable/dsl.

Really? Not! You just pay FIOS,TV and phone with federal taxes that telecom COs have to collect your money to pay a taxes like crap but on cable I don't have to pay any crap taxes

huh??

Like i said, when an ISP offers nice speeds such as fios, that doesnt mean taht they are gonna sock you with $100 internet bill.

at one time i was paying 52$ for 3M down on cable.

Now i pay 45$ for 15/2

Nice... I want to see if cox will come with something like 30Mbits/10Mbits or even 30Mbits upstream if cox do that then I will stay with them that's it so no switching to FIOS...

At that price, I'd certainly take it!

You realize connections like that cost TENS OF THOUSANDS right now?

Yeah, Dude... If ISP want to offer 1Gbits/500Mbits then it will cost ISP plenty of FIVETY OF THOUSANDS dollars but I rather to take a 100Mbits/100Mbits that is much plenty of speeds for web browsing, checking email, playing games...

Wait... I have an idea... ISP could provide lots of bandwidth backbone networks then customers can ride on 100Mbits/100Mbits that makes sense and less lag and less bandwidth hog...

Yes, fios is definitely the best option. TWC here is $55/month for 10/1. Fios has a 20/5 for $45 and a 20/20 for $65. I think you can accurately guess which I have.

Odd...I have Time Warner, and 15/2 speeds, and my bill is $30/month. And no, I'm not in a triple play package, I only have internet and phone. If it's discounted, that's a hell of a discount. I'm quite happy with those speeds, my only complaint is that tons of people in this complex have TWC's high speed package, and the throughput gets nerfed every Sunday like clockwork. Streaming sermons, I suppose.

Well, if you're in a MDU, they usually have deals worked out where you get lower rates as far as I know. This could be why you're getting such a low rate. This, however, is assuming by "complex" you mean a MDU.

the bonus with fios is that the pipe is yours from your router to the central office, Your speeds don't slow down because your neighbors are never on your pipe
