Just thought I'd add a positive word about VZ/Fairpoint FIOS existing install. I have not had any downtime since getting it installed a little less than a year ago. Just did a test 15591 kbps down and 1653 kbps up Which matches pretty well 'typical' speeds for real world (though I occasionally have seen better upload speeds). _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
