I have verizon FIOS at home... if you can get it, get it. It's awesome. From my room the signal has to go through several walls and the floor (i live upstairs in my house) - my connection strength is considered weak by my computer, yet when I download files from a NY location (im from ny) I download at nearly 1mb/sec - I don't remember what numbers I got when I ran a bandwidth test, but I know that according to speakeasy the needle goes past the highest number on the dial. (10mb+) on download.
