You wanna plunk down 250 a month for gig both ways internet, and you have something that could eat just about 30 somethings at the same time and still have room to spare.
After all, unless you use something like Flashget, you are limited to whatever a server can push out. What is it these days, 45-50Mbits? If a lot more people went for 100+ connections, I could definitely see myself doing several things at once besides this one download I'm working on at that moment. |

1 edit | most of the time its 10mbit or 100mbit per server on the dedi / colo sides of things. There are the few and far packages that let you pick up some odd unmetered port speeds. Most "servers" that your pulling sites from generally get billed on usage rather than speed.
:EDIT: And yes, before someone else comes up and says it in a snide remark.... the bandwidth does have to be shared amongst all those using that server, whether it be multiple sites or multiple visitors to said sites. |

I don't think he's being paid, he just really likes FiOS. So do I, but the facts are the facts....the Cablevision offer is a good one, as long as they deliver the goods. |

Time Warner vs FIOS.
Time Warner is REAL FIBER here. Yes, I can touch it, smell it and feel it. It is fiber optics to right in front of the building.
RCN is fiber as well to the basement of the complex.
Verizon FIOS pretends its some new fiber network, it is not. |

With the rumour of that high ($250 or up) price tag, I was shocked to see a $99 fee. I really didn't think they'd price it that low.

My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it. He said, If I have a chance to invade if I had that much capital, I'm not going to waste it.I'm going to get everything passed that I want.

normal areas TWC/RCN =FTTN + Last mile copper
VZ FTTH = 100# into your house |

I would plunk it down just out of pure respect for them having the most aggressive speeds on the market  100 /100 for 100 a month is where usa should be at Who cares it we don't use it now, the key is that we'll be able to use it if needed. |

I've got no issue bringing down 100mbits full rate from servers I visit regularly. I see no reason why anyone else should.

Verizon builds fiber straight to the ONT which sits on your very unit.
There is a big difference. One relies on coaxial and/or copper to run the last mile, one doesn't. |
