I dont know if this has been discussed yet but Im curious as to how many members are using ATT or Verizon FIOS?
And how has it worked for you so far?
Thanks.

It'll be sweet if you can get FIOS.

Unfortunately, you might likely have faster connection than many websites have bandwidth.

We have verizon DSL, and its pretty decent. I think we are getting full speed. I tried to sign up for Verizon FIOS, but we can't get it here.

Just as an update.
We got the FIOS service installed and up and running.
For Christmas my DW surprised me with a new custom built Dell desktop.
Between the FIOS and the new computer, I didnt realize internet surfing could be so quick.
