None of this "UPTO" crap!


Let people decide how much "speed" they want to pay for, and then DELIVER it...
Then get a dedicated DS3 from your telco. Because the internet is a shared medium and no one will guarantee a specific speed "no matter what". "UPTO" is the only way it can be offered and not be lying about it.

Nope, never said it was, I was just commenting that it seems that FIOS delivers what they advertise.
So if they can do it, why can't others be truthful in what they can actually deliver, not what they MIGHT deliver...

My cable company currently offers what they advertise. So I'd suggest that like any other service, the quality of your connection to the Internet will vary from location to location and provider to provider. As much as you don't agree with him, TK's point is valid.

So you would have no problem with your cable company offering you upto 100 HD channels, yet you can only get 20, but your friend in the next town, can get 80 HD channels from the same company, for the same price.

Different method of delivery...at least until cable fully migrates to switched digital video.
