FiOS Update

Back in November I was so excited about FiOS coming. I thought they were running the fiber. But as it turned out, they just ran the conduit. Last week they finally ran the fiber. Today we got the ability to pre-order the service. Of course I called and set it up.

Hopefully within 6 weeks we will have FiOS. That means my download speed will increase from 4 mbps to 15 mbps. My upload speed, which I am most excited about, will jump from 384 kpbs to 2 mbps. That means my upload speed will be 5x faster. Comcasts download speeds have always been good. The upload speeds, on the other hand, have always stunk.

I can't wait to call Comcast and cancel. Their service is fine, but they have been shafting me for quite some time since I don't use them for TV service.

TV isn't available yet on FiOS, but it's coming soon. I'll have to do some research to see customer reviews of the service. Right now we use DirecTV and really like the quality and service we get. We'll have to cross that bridge when we get to it.
