Oh, no wonder they're so high, they're in Japan. Crazy high bandwith over there.
We were about to get FioS a couple of weeks ago, but sadly, it's not available in this area... yet. But when it is...
And my lappy is on wireless, so wired the connection would be better, right?
@ Zucas
WOWOWOWOW nice connection.
FioS? |
i am actually geting fios when it gets to the Big Apple.
btw: fastest i got it to go so far:
though it did peak temporarly over 10000 but it went down.

FiOs is already in the Big apple.
DMeisterJ said: FiO is only availible in the NE regions of America. and the speeds are much faster than 13,000 kbps.
My friend (that lives in NYC) has it going at 45-50,000 kbps. For only 150 dollars a month, while I have to pay 70 dollars for time warner which only gives me 15000 kbps tops.

really?!?! i tried to google it, and go on verizon's site, no fios where i live, which is washington heights. upper manhattan for you non-new yorkers.

Try calling them up instead. I know for a fact that New York city (especially Manhattan) has the most FiOs coverage in America, there is a possiblity that there's no Verizon phone lines in your specific area though... (which technically shouldn't matter, but apparently does).
Verizon always advertises FiOs in every Yankees game aswell...
But yea, people that live in Asia (China, Japan, and Korea) have it pretty good in terms of internet speed/costs. decent broadband can be as low as $3-$5 dollars in China, that's even cheaper than dialup in America.
