They also offer up to 101 meg down with its Docsis 3.0 service. Comcast recently increased its base to 12/2. Verizon's 15/5 especially with the increased upload will give it the competitive advantage on the lower end. Cablevision however will still brag that it has the fastest residential internet speeds of 101 meg down. I believe that Verizon won't match or exceed that until it upgrades its entire footprint to GPON which may take sometime.

Speed tests seem very good from those that have jumped on the boat early. I won't do it - I'm actually quite happy with CV's 30/5 Boost package right now - for the price. $39. When my contract expires in January 2010, I hope Verizon has put fiber on the street. A little competition is necessary (for me) to keep what I pay low. -- "Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy." - George Carlin [my ramblings]
