woo-hoo!!! getting FIOS soon....
on Wednesday i found out FIOS (Verizon's fiber optic high-speed internet) was available for my area, so i ordered it. today, the guy showed up to do the drop from the pole to the house. i get it installed in about a week, but i could have had it done sooner. i just scheduled a day when i was off.
so for $2 more per month than my DSL, i go from 3Mbps to 15Mbps. the installer told me that within the month, they will be upgrading all the 15 subscribers to 20Mbps for free.

You know? That may not be such a bad idea. Any cameras in the area? We have 5Mb cable here. Unlike my earlier experiences with a 1.5Mb DSL channel, the cable actually "exceeds" what it advertises. On DSL, I never broke the 1Mb barrier on the 1.5Mb advertised. No matter how much I tweaked. I'm going to check on the fiber optics to see if it is available. I download a LOT!! Mostly Comedy channel series shows, and uhhh... examples... "samples" if you will..... of DVD movies. The single layer style movie averages around 4.7GB. At 15Mb??? Rockin!!

I wish I knew what the rollout schedule was. I figure it'll end up in my town in about 25 years.
