yeh I am moving or trying to move int fios territory, comcast with their charges for 5 up and 22 down. up speed never gets that far the most it goes to up speed is maybe 90 kbs. I wish the fcc would police the internet like they do the tv cable. I would like to see comcast loose all their territorys to verizon.

Comcast has placed governors on the bandwidth coming to your house. If you exeed the download speed limit for more than fifteen minutes, they bring down your internet access speed to a snails pace, school zone speed. T^his may last for hours or days. Did they think about modern homes that have wireless routers with multiple people on line at the same time ? Hmmmm, imagine that. I have four people in the house that need to use the internet at the same time. How are we suppose to know when we are exceeding the download capacity speed limit? After enough people get access to and switch over to FIOS, then Comcast will change thier tune. Until then, Comcast will behave much like the We don’t give a F^%$ Bush administration.

Ya, good point Jim.. FIOS is Verizon’s fiber to the door, 15 megabit down and 2 megabit up, for the same price as cable.

It’s hard because it seems that comcast is the only game in town, what is FIOS??? For me it’s really up speed that matters for gaming, or at least that’s the hindering factor. Good day all

Now you know why I am anxiously awaiting FIOS. Comcast is a horrible company, full of lies. I’ve had the 6 for 10 months now, never seen above 5 and avg 3-4.

I do can’t wait to stop giving them my cash.
