How much is it?

i got it at 138 or so for the first year, then my cable boxes which i got for free for a year, or discounted i can't remember, then it should be about 175 or so, i was paying 225 for cox with a 20/5 internet and phone and basic cable with hbo.

I cut somewhere in the realm of like 80 dollars off my monthly cost by switching. My cable price had just gone up again and was getting seriously retarded for shitty service.

I'll deal with it in a year by threatening to go back to get another deal.

I really want FiOS in my area, but so far it's pretty limited to the northern section of Texas, more specifically the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. I'm tired of Time Warner. :mad:

Pretty sure we're on a 20/5 or some crap like that. I am using wireless-n on my desktop just fyi.

It takes a lot of monies(you would not believe the cost in just passing a 100 home area), legal work, permissions(community/local ,state, & federal) and such to lay fiber. If you are in a residential area and not in a remote spot. You might get it one day.

They are in New Hampshire.
Verizon FiOS New Hampshire - Manchester, NH is on the list, might not be in your neighborhood though.

Where is Fios Available?

Thanks, but not in Manchester

nice! Ive been thinking about switching over to fios. I am currently on a internet card through at@t and it sucks!!!!! Fios here i come

Cox in my area usually gets better speeds than rated. My friend gets something around 35/10 on his 25/5 connection.

If/when I move out of here, I will literally pick a place to live based almost solely on fios availability. That and year-round electricity costs.

Fios is based on a DSL tech right FTTP/VDSL2 ?

FIOS is best ISP I have had.

Wile E · Apr 11, 2011

Fios threads make me want to cry. It's been available 10 minutes away from my house for a good 6 years now. I want it so bad. All I can get is DSL or Comcast. DSL is too slow, and Comcast just sucks in terms of price and customer service.

Necrofire · Apr 18, 2011

Nearest FIOS availability is a state away. Stupid Arizona.

Oh well, should be getting Cox's ultimate package sometime in a month, can't wait because at least it'll be better than what I have.

crazyeyesreaper · Apr 18, 2011

could be worse you could live in maine, where the internet servers are really woodland animals on wheels running while red necks aim guns at them lol. no fios for us for a long long time.

In download, but not likely upload(not that upload really matters all that much unless you are hosting servers off it, and you can't legally anyway).

I get 60Mb/s download, but only 10Mb/s upload, on my DOCSIS 3.0 connection. I pay $99 a month for that.
