Well I thought I would post about surewest FIOS that just got finished installed at my house here cause it seems like the best place..
I got my 10Mbit/10Mbit FIOS Internet/TV/Phone service installed today.
The tech was cool and even wired my whole home network under the house for an extra $20.
The speeds are great too (download isn't as nice as verizon but the upload speed is killer)
DSL Reports  
TestMy
I got the whole package with TV/Internet/Phone for about $115 per month and $56 for the first 6 months as a promotion. Activation and Install charges were free.
I live in Sacramento, California and am looking forward to take advantage of this awsome service.
BTW: It is DHCP too.

I was curious so I checked it out.  Couple of things caught my eye, which might not make this as good as possible:

First,  "Up to 10 Mbps, burstable, always-on, equal upload/download connection."  Doesn't burstable mean that on long continuous downloads, you will not get the 10 MBits, even if the other server can handle it?

Second, "Up to 40 Gigabytes of unidirectional throughput monthly, calculated on inbound or outbound usage, whichever is higher."  This one really hurts.  You are capped at 40 GB / month?  Ouch.  40 GB IS a lot, but the idea of being capped just doesn't agree with me

Am I missing something, or is this what you have?

I do get 10MBs on everything even for large downloads and if it is large enough it will accally speed up to 11MBs..
Accually I have a 75GB limit and it bumps the package price up to $156 they also have a 130GB limit which would make it about $200 for the package..
The Cap is annoying because when I was on DSL I was using 300GB per month so this is a challege to keep it under. There reason for their caps is the they say "the average person on our service uses only 4GB" which is BS.

whats the upload u get in testmy.net

?

10/10 ... that's just wrong.   I can remember, very recently, when 1mb was high speeds.

Enjoy!!!

Halobox isn't the only one....
