Good news

Those speed increase are great and competitve with cable companies.

Cablevision's base speed has been 15/2 for quite sometime now. 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.

It should be noted, however, that Cablevision's 101mb down requires a $300 activation fee, at this time. 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.
