if you get 88mbps or 88000kbps, then you're really getting that speed if not, then the speed that's shown during the download is the speed your connection is.

i will e-mail Al Gore to get the answer.

i would think the equipment would limit the bandwidth somehow - if i'm paying for 15M, why would i buy the more expensive plan if i'm downloading at 88M?

we don't deal with the FIOS equipment at work, so i don't know the specs or how it all works, but we will be manning the FIOS Video equipment soon.

if you get FIOS Video, i will broadcast "Mr. Ed" and "Hee-Haw" to you in a 24-hour feed.
