Still not worth it.

That is $65 a month for 30/2. About $55 a month if you also have more than basic cable and VoIP. I'm getting 30/5 fios for $55.

Also OOL caps if you upload an unspecified amount, and could hardly even keep up with the bandwidth needs of 10/1 connections. I don't see them actually giving 30/2 and allowing you to use it.

Has anyone proven that Fios does not have caps, or that they will not implement caps once they have gone past the initial rollout?

All in all, Fios may be a good thing for OOL. They'll have an easy way to take the small minority of users that peg the upload and get rid of them.

Uhm it can always change, but yes it's proven that they don't have caps. I would have been capped at least 20 times already if I still had OOL.
