Re: Happy with what I have for now...

I too was in that situation. I was doing 1.5mbps down/128K up and paid handsomely for it base price of $34.95 ($36 to $39 depending on Verizon mood). I was waiting for FIOS to come to my neighborhood (if you draw a 1/2 mile radius around my house - anybody inside the circle does not have FIOS where everyone outside the circle has it.) Then I got an email stating they are jacking up my base price to $39.95 which was the last draw. I immediately jump to cox and it cost me $2.04 additional to get 5 mbps down/2 mbps up. That 2 mbss up makes the whole difference especially uploading pictures, and made me feel glad that I switch.

Have been waiting for Verizon Fios for some time. Currently have their DSL service.

And honestly...I'm happy with it. Yes, there are faster speeds out there, but the speed I have is fast enough, and with simple gaming, web surfing, and emails, along with the occasional iTunes download of music, I don't need more speed, at least for now.

Because my 1500/384 is cheap enough, I'm no longer in a hurry for Fios.
