Well, that's the first thing I'll do when I get home. My max speed is theoretically 3 megabit, but I'm only getting half that right now. We shall see.

You're not just getting half that, you're getting less than your minimum, judging by Adam's numbers.

What is the FIOS costing you Peter?
I have Verizon DSL currently, but Verizon sure is trying to push the FIOS on me.

It's costing me $0, but it's costing my company about $50/mo. After a year, the price goes up to a whopping $180/mo, at which time I'll drop down from the 30Mbit plan to the 15Mbit plan, which will cost $50.

Verizon does do HD over fiber in other areas, but it hasn't made it here yet. It's coming, though.
