Verizon has been marketing FIOS for over 2 years and only a small portion of the city is covered. Nice to see the technology advancing but the infrastructure is just not there yet ATM for the mass. |
Really? it's that bad? I'm surprised. I live a couple miles outside of boston, and cable/FIOS offers 20-50mb/s pretty much everywhere. And most areas can get solid numbers, first time I ever clocked my connection I actually got the full 20mb/s.
I mean, I wouldn't expect the same speed out in the boonies, and yeah, we're a long way before most people have access to that... I'm just surprised you have to settle for that in NYC.
