New Verizon FiOS Speeds & Prices
Not directly A/V related but for those of us watching Netflix or listening to Pandora over FiOS it's interesting. Verizon is rumored to be bumping up speeds and prices starting June 17th. I'm currently on a 35/35Mb/s plan as part of an internet/TV/premium channel package and there are reports that those speeds might be bumped to 75/35. No confirmation on the latter yet but that's the rumor going around the DSLReports Verizon Internet forum.

Updated info below. Don't forget that if you're already under contract that you'll have to ask for what may be a free bump to the new speed. The best part is no caps.

300mbit down is actually fast enough to justify replacing the ol' WRT54G with something faster. *drool*
If only I could get FiOS.

Fios, shmios... I get this on cable and pay much less - currently on one year promo - basic+family pgk tv, hd dvr, Boost internet and phone ( I don't use the later, but it cheaper to have it) = total bill is $136
As soon as promo ends I'd cancel the phone, but probably keep the boost service..
yea, and thank god - no caps

When you're arguing with an idiot, make sure the person you are speaking to isn't doing the same thing.

I've got FiOS 15/5 and had been consistently getting 20/5. I was kinda upset that I would be getting no speed upgrade during this process but recently I've actually been consistently getting 25/5. I have never heard of any other ISP giving you speeds 66% faster than the "guaranteed" speed. I would have liked a doubling of upload speed though so that I could stream my DVD collection at friends houses...

Uncompressed DVD is about 900KB/sec so yeah, you'd need closer to a 10mbit up pipe, but if you're compressed with anything modern (or hell, even old, just down to typical 1.3GB/movie at largest) you should be able to do that fine over 5mbps...I would have liked a doubling of upload speed though so that I could stream my DVD collection at friends houses...
