Does anyone know what Verizon's policy is regarding bandwidth? Do
they also restrict it? I could go back to their slower service over
the phone lines if Comcast kicks me off.
From an engineering point of view, I think there would be little
incentive to cap FIOS because it does not have the same flaws as cable
provided broadband. Of course they still could apply caps as a
means of
charging extra for something that costs them almost zero. Evil has no
bounds.
Unfortunately, FIOS isn't available at my home tho it IS just 3/4
mile away! When I temporarily tried the Verizon DSL the technician
couldn't believe we didn't have it but we don't. It's CONcast for
high speed or nothing.
We had the cable vs DSL/fiber discussion here a few months ago and our
cable fan bois insisted that cable provided broadband was not
technically
flawed and severely bandwidth limited. We now see that cable can not
carry the load.
My download speed last night varied from 4874 kb/sec to 8676 kb/sec.
It used to be a lot faster.
Of necessity, as more people sign up for cable provided broadband, the
caps will get lower and lower and lower.
I'm afraid you are right about that.
