Kevin, great news. Please note, while you’re allowed to hug FiOS installers, please do not feed them as they are on a… wait for it… high fiber diet. Ben will giving us props for all the HD we carry by Jan. Plus, FiOS HD is as pure as OTA, I’m sure he’d admit.

Lol, try Virgin Media’s HD channel content here in the UK. One channel. One! I guess at least their PAL standard def is decent.

We should be getting 50 Mbps later this year but seeing as we’re on 20/768kbps at the moment I don’t think we’ll be jumping to 20 Mbps up
!

Ben, the contractor wouldn’t lie to me after I hugged him, would he? Actually you’re probably right: he told me what I wanted to hear just to get away from me. ;)

I’ll likely stick with Dish for my television content as I’m happy with the equipment and their HD selection. It’s getting to the point where 95% of my viewing is HD-only, so I can’t go back to fewer channels.

That’s great Kev, but I have to tell you, it took like 9 months from the first time I saw them laying fiber until it was actually available. Hopefully mine is the exception and you’ll get it sooner.

I have the 20/5 connection and love it, I’ve exceeded the limits on a few occasions.

As for the HD selection, it really sucks right (21 channels) now, but Verizon has made lots of promises.

If I am not mistaken, FiOS was being made local several months ago. Didn’t know what FiOS was back then though. O.o

@John…

90MBps?! That’s crazy fast.
I think I have some kind of internet bandwidth envy thing happening.

I’m happy with my 90MBps thank you but according to my neighbour, if you hug 7 different people a day you will live longer.

Damn it! I chased down a Verizon truck in my neighborhood only to be told the trucks had driven down the wrong street and were supposed to be installing in the next neighborhood over. Grrr! I want 20/20!

Dude, there is no way you get FiOS in your back water village before I get it in a major metro area! I’m filing a complaint with someone. CZ?

I could get FiOS internet now, but not TV. I get one bill from Comcast right now, and I don’t want to add another bill. We’ll see who gets both first, OK?
;)

FiOS is getting closer and closer to my area, Lehigh Valley, PA. It will depend on pricing on if I switch or not. I’m currently using our local cable’s (RCN) 20m service. It speed tests around 18-19m down and 2ish up. Which has been serving my needs just fine. I get phone, tv and internet from them, so I will have to see what the whole package from Verizon would be, and probably go with the cheaper of the 2.

Holy crap thats fast!
Im stuck in the middle of nowhere clinging to my 3UK mobile broadband (averages around 3.6mbps!) I cant even get 56k modem working on my landline. You guys are so lucky! Does that mean youll be able to stream Full HD Content!!

Rub it in Kevin.
