Stop complaining, this is the first company to make this giant leap toward coming into phase with the rest of the modern world. Although they arent quite there yet. That price will need to drop to about 30$ a month to match foreign offerings.

I'm not complaining, I'm actually glad. Just seems to be a bit of marketing hype on the 50 Mbps. Unless I'm downloading from Google or Microsoft, I don't think any website would be able to match that speed just because it's too expensive to have an upload connection that fast.

They really don't need to hype up fiber, we all know it's fast. To me it's no different than going sports car shopping and the saleman telling me their car is so fast I can get a speeding ticket in it.

How many people share that DS3 is the question I would ask.
Then, I would assert a post.

But...who needs all that bandwidth? And will the backbone routers handle users with that speed? There is already congestion on many routes in major cities that Verizon cannot fix if the BBN, UUNet and other backbones are not updated to handle the traffic.

You will go as fast as the backbone will let you go.
