Just had the internet installed...

Download speed went from 8 mb/s to >20mb/s
Upload speed went from 0.7 mb/s to 3.5 mb/s

:)

Oh and I\'m actually SAVING money.

congratulations.  wow, do you really need that much download speed?  But the good thing is you are saving money and yet get a better deal on faster upload and download speed too.  Really cool.

It was part of a triple play package that included telephone and television.  Telephone is crystal clear... CRAZY crystal clear, and television picture quality is unmatched.

Fiber Optics uses light, which accounts for the blazing fast speeds.  However I still think its a digital signal though.

about the phone service, how is it different than the traditional phone?  can you still use the regular phone or do you need a different phone?

I\'ve been waiting for this ever since I first heard of it. You\'d think that living in San Francisco I\'d be able to get it, but nope, no love yet.

I\'ve been waiting as well. Now I come to find out from my bro (who works for Verizon) that I can\'t get FiOS in an apartment. I\'m pissed. I wanna get rid of Comcast.

I called today and it turns out Verizon doesn\'t service my area. It\'s AT&T, which doesn\'t have Fios. Grrr.
