Happy with what I have for now...

Have been waiting for Verizon Fios for some time. Currently have their DSL service.

And honestly...I'm happy with it. Yes, there are faster speeds out there, but the speed I have is fast enough, and with simple gaming, web surfing, and emails, along with the occasional iTunes download of music, I don't need more speed, at least for now.

Because my 1500/384 is cheap enough, I'm no longer in a hurry for Fios.

I too was in that situation. I was doing 1.5mbps down/128K up and paid handsomely for it base price of $34.95 ($36 to $39 depending on Verizon mood). I was waiting for FIOS to come to my neighborhood (if you draw a 1/2 mile radius around my house - anybody inside the circle does not have FIOS where everyone outside the circle has it.) Then I got an email stating they are jacking up my base price to $39.95 which was the last draw. I immediately jump to cox and it cost me $2.04 additional to get 5 mbps down/2 mbps up. That 2 mbss up makes the whole difference especially uploading pictures, and made me feel glad that I switch.
