If you compare the bandwidth that verizon has compared to cable, and satellite you will see why it offers a better service. Not only is the internet faster, but if you decide to get Fios tv, both standard definition and high definition programs look better since they don't compress the signal as much as cable or satellite. Verizon fios is kickass, get it.

having the house switch to the full package of fios, phone, internet and tv w/dvrs im just curious to know if the 15mb plan will be a helluva alot more different in terms of dling and uploading and general surfing compared to my cable at cox comm. I did the only speed tests and it says my cable is doing 4mbs average...

i got fios, its ok i think it is faster then cox, tv wise , The menu and all acts funny some times, it goes loco on me . The only thing is that is a neg factor is when you got vonage service, so if your online surfing and downloading , and on the phone your call quality is going to be lower. here is a test i think the speed is almost same as T1 .http://img453.imageshack.us/img453/901/speedtestou3.jpg

5.1Mbps is faster then a T1.

T1 = 1.544Mbps
