FioS Is Coming

[Busyman]

For a limited time, employees and retirees of Verizon companies who live in FiOS-qualified areas can now get super-fast FiOS Internet Service for just $39.95 per month, a $10 savings off the regular price.

The discount only applies to the 15 Megabits per second (Mbps) downstream/2 Mbps upstream, residential service. Employees who currently subscribe to the 5/2 Mbps service, can upgrade to the faster service and get triple the download speed for the regular price of the 5/2 Mbps service.

Verizon FiOS Internet Service is powered by fiber optics, so it’s incredibly fast. You'll experience entertainment, music, online games and other features – all at lightning speed. FiOS Internet Service includes MSN® Premium software. With MSN Premium, you'll get more control and more protection. In fact, it comes with some of the most powerful Internet security tools around, such as MSN Firewall and MSN Virus Guard.

I can't wait!!!

If you pay more, you can get 25 or 50 Mbps, up to 4 telco lines, and 400 channels of digital TV.....on one fiber.

Kind of makes my 512kb/s connection look very puny. Will there be any cap on how much bandwidth you're allowed to use>

Oh Comcast cable does telephone service. However, coax does not remotely have the capacity of fiber.
