I’ve spent the morning working at my father’s house during his FiOS installation. The technician was very curious about my UMPC setup with EV-DO and folding Bluetooth keyboard and asked me what it was. I gave my typical reply: "That’s my office." He got the last laugh on me though: once the FiOS was installed and I connected to it via WiFi, his work blew my EV-DO connection out of the water. You can see by the SpeedTest screenshot that my dad will be enjoying a speedy Internet pipe. What’s impressive to me is that this is the slowest and least-expensive FiOS package that Verizon is currently offering in my area. Very nice!
