I used to get over 30mb down at Speakeasy on Roadrunner when I lived in Nedrow, before I moved to a real area and got FiOS. It's fake, because it's that speedboost crap. I've got the 25/15(25) FiOS now and it's definitely faster than that fake TW speedboost
And what is FiOS gonna be when it starts reaching problems? PowerBoost requires three speedtests before reaching the actual speed.
But at least their speedtest is OFF their network and NOT on it like VZ's. OOPS! Did i forget to mention that if you have cable Internet VZ's speedtests are FLAT OUT BOGUS!??!?!
And by the way? VZ didn't start building out FiOS until they were promised they didn't have to share it. only later to cherry pick the areas they want to offer it in. Cable is years ahead of VZ and can out build them any time they wish. Remember VZ HAS to rewire every street and city for FiOS. Cable doesn't as it only has to finish the last ~500 feet with it. Now who's ahead. And as far as speed? Cablevision is turely ahead of VZ and their so called Internet.
Proving once again that Denial is not just a river in Egypt...
The chances of FiOS "reaching problems" are minuscule compared to what happens when cable runs into the very real limitations of their RF distribution plant.
It's called being "future proof", and your cable is 1970's tech.
