New Re: What's FIOS?
Got it here. We went for the 5m/2m package. Only cost us about $5 more than what we had been paying for DSL.

So far, it's been pretty stable, except for the initial install problems. Seems that the guys who ran the fiber to the house managed to damage the drop during the install. 2 weeks later, someone had to come out and re-do it.

Other than that, it's been pretty stable and speeds are just about as advertised. Latest test run today at 2:15 pm says 4777/1733.

New Thanx for the review!
I think I get 5m down, but nowhere near that up. That could be useful for videoconferencing.
