Verizon FiOS

[tkam]

Yay!

Looking forward to my 15/2 package being bumped up to 20/5 sometime next week.

[n_maher]

I wish they'd run lines out to my house. I so hate having no choice but comcast...

[Dusty Chalk]

I really need to look at upgrading to unthrottled FIOS.

[aardvark baguette]

I wish my family would get it. I'm not worried about download speed, I need upload speed. Its absolutely abysmal with Comcast. I had to quit Mozy because of it. Sumbitches.

[tkam]

I know Comcast has a 16/2 service, but it might only be available in areas where they have to compete with FiOS

[riceboy]

Yay!

Wow. That is great news for you. Thanks for the info

[CD44hi]

whoo hoo! I have the same package, now I should find out what to do with all the band width

[laxx]

I have the 5/2 package, which is auto bumped to 10/2 in NY. I really want the 20/5 package though.

This is what we currently have, before the shakeup:

5/2 $42.99 currently have (slowest)

15/2 $74.95 w/ 2 yr bundled commitment

15/15 $84.95 w/ 2 yr bundled commitment

30/15 $155.00 no bundled commitment deal

...I have a feeling it will become something like:

10/2 $42.99+ currently have (slowest)

20/5 $74.95+ w/ 2 yr bundled commitment

20/20 $84.95+ w/ 2 yr bundled commitment

50/20 $155.00+ no bundled commitment deal

I'm tempted to take it up to 20/20, but there's no way I'm paying for 50/20. Heck, even if I don't do anything, I should get throttled down to half as bad as previously. That's still pretty good.

Sigh. Still waiting, I know some Verizon managers who told me about this four years ago and an announcement seven months ago that it was coming to the LA area, yeah right. Re: KG's comment "What does coming soon mean?"

Aardvark, how old are you?

Man that's expensive. NY already gets 10/2 for the slowest package, 15/2 is $52.99. 50/20 is $84.99 or something.

[Dusty Chalk]

Yeah, snot cheap.

Aardvark, how old are you?

I think he's 17.

Aye keed, aye keed.

[JBLoudG20]

Holy shit I thought was was like 40.

The 50/20 plan will be $89.95 in VA/NY and $130-$140 everywhere else.

No, he has a job, so he has to be at least 16.

Did you see where it was already $155 for me? There's no way they're lowering it for me.

[aardvark baguette]

Aardvark, how old are you?

25. Born 12/30/82. And yes, I know I'm a mooch for still living at home. But it does allow for some nice discretionary income for Amazon

edit: not sure what speed internet we have. Slow and slower would be an accurate description.

[n_maher]

Dude, 25, get out the house man!

[JBLoudG20]

Dude, 25, get out the house man!

I wont say anyhting cause I'll be moving out when I am 25.

Gotta wait for the woman to gradiate so I can afford that mansion and a yacht. Or so I can afford my student loan payments and a mortgage payment. Rent is

[Dusty Chalk]

I moved out at 16.

[JBLoudG20]

I moved out at 16.

I guess I could move out now, but that would mean no savings. I figure:

I knwo my g/f (fiance in about 4 months) and I will be living together when she finishes her masters next may. I don't know where she is working yet. So I might as well wait so we can pick a place together. That leaves me with a year to kill to either a) get my own place, or save half my pay. Saving seems to make sense to me.

[grawk]

I'm just jealous I couldn't handle being at home, I needed my independence.

I'm in the same boat. My girlfriend's finishing up her Master's next year and depending on where she works is where we'll live. I still live at home, but I pay my parents a decent amount for rent.
