I am getting 15mbps download and 1.7 mbps upload.  Installation was relatively easy.  They had a pre-installation, where sub-contractors come out and run the fiber from the telephone pole to the house and place a box (about 24"h x 10"w x 10"d on the outside of the house.  Then another Verizon tech. comes out and mounts another device (the battery backup) inside your garage and run the cable.<br><br>Here then on, it's basically the same as a cable internal installation.  setup the router (which they provided!!! D-Link Super-G), etc.  They were really nice and helpful.  Offered to setup the router, install the branded software, and even went to www.speakeasy.net/speedtest to show you that you are truely getting the bandwidth that they advertise!!!  They even showed me a tool called TCPOptimizer (which I was familiar with), that went through Windows and modified a number of things related to the TCP/IP settings to get the most out of the additional bandwidth.  <br><br>I was getting 6mbps download and 768kbps upload with Adelphia for $54+tax/per month.  Now I get 15mbps download and 1.7 mbps download for $50.  nice!!! :)<br><br>Hope it comes to your neighborhood soon!!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jasonbub]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 2nd 2006 1:08AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on FiOS: now available in parts of California]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/03/01/fios-now-available-in-parts-of-california/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/03/01/fios-now-available-in-parts-of-california/</guid><description><![CDATA[Come to Dallas dammit!
