Re: still no FIOS in DC but Comcast saves the day said by dcdeadbeat5:My Comcast costs me $25 a month and I get 23Mbps down, 4Mpbs up. How can Verizon even begin to compete here? Because unlike your powerboost poisoned comcast speedtests, fios can give you those speeds ALL THE TIME, not just a 20 second burst.

Because unlike your powerboost poisoned comcast speedtests, fios can give you those speeds ALL THE TIME, not just a 20 second burst. Actually I don't have PowerBoost provisioned on my speed tier (I am only paying $25 a month). Speed stays consistent the entire time and does not drop off. So yes I really am getting above my tier and not with PowerBoost.
This is typical for Comcast here in DC. It may be different in other areas. I have Comcast Business at work and it also does not appear to use PowerBoost. In fact I was told that we are getting Docsis 3 for the same price and that the connection will go as fast as the modem will currently go (around 33Mbps down, 4Mbps up). Comcast told me if I wanted faster than that all I would have to do is upgrade to a newer modem.
So to put it in another way, I get this speed at work and and home ALL THE TIME.
FIOS? It won't be rolled out here until 2014. So I think that puts FIOS speed at 0. |

| Wow, so you cant get FiOS so automatically Cable is better? You really sound biased. Youre trying to get a guy who's had Cable, then switched to FiOS and kept it for 3 straight years, to switch back to Cable? "Comcast won, Fios lost (because you cant get it) LOL. Its FACTUAL that FiOS has faster internet and better TV picture quality. You CANNOT argue it. Just because FiOS has limited availability does not mean its inferior to cable. I have had Comcast and currently have Cox, and they are both horrible. I just ordered FiOS yesterday. |
