Re: just upgraded to 150/60 I hit 150mbps pretty much everyday. Usenet and Torrents I get all my speed.
The whole "not a lot of servers can feed the speed" was true back in the early days. Not so much now.
Lubbin me my 150. |

I regularly max out my 50mbps, even during the evenings. With CDNs and other cloud services, it happens with almost every download, though it might take up to 5 seconds to ramp up to the max. Unless there was an epic sale, Steam has always, always used up all my free bandwidth. |

Plano, TX | Boy I remember those speeds when I was on 150/35... I wish Verizon would hurry up with the business fios Quantum speeds so I don't have to pay $200/mo just for internet on top of everything else. |

I'm planning on switching to residential from business, I could be getting 300mb/s for the price I'm paying for 150mb/s right now. Neither nycdave, the other VZ reps on this forum, or anyone from the FSC has a clue when the business side will get Quantum so there's no point in continuously throwing $100 away each month. I just hope I'll still be able to continue to do 40TB/month with no complaints on residential. |

Fort Worth, TX | I just thought I would reply and say I went the Ethernet route when I had my install done on a residential account. The guy only wanted me to go with MoCa so they could upsell the tv service and avoid another installation. There is virtually no difference between the two but yes the latency is better on Ethernet.
An installer will do Ethernet if you insist. |

Ethernet is a requirement for 150+ speeds. It's optional for lower tiers at customers request. |
