Re: Overkill and overpriced said by Dogfather:I had Verizon 50Mbps tier and had a hard time finding use for it. Giganews was about the only servers I could find that could serve me at 50Mb, otherwise I still saw a typical 20-30Mb on the high end. Those kind of speeds are more useful when you have a family with teenagers, that are ALL on the computer at the same time youtubing, playing online games, webcamming with bff-whomever, using vonage to chat, watching the latest sport highlights, AND downloading from usenet, torrents, etc....
Most people don't see beyond what speeds could do with one computer and one person operating.
It's just me and my wife, but I am happy to have 15/2, because we are both internet junkies.  | |

Laguna Hills, CA | LOL, pretty much just you. I'm not saying that Verizon won't sell a single customer on it. I'm just speaking from my experience, being a frequent downloader, that I had trouble finding sources that come close to matching my capacity. | |

said by aaronwt:It's just me but I have 40 devices connecting to the internet on a regular basis. 40 public IPs or 40 internet accessible devices? I have 2 cellphones phones, 2 cable modems, 2 corporate lan DHCP lease with public IPs, and 1 DSL modem. So thats 7 public IPs on devices dedicated to me, but 40 public IPs? | |
