Speedtest Results - What'cha got?

Wow, very impressive! I need to check into that. I was at the end of a very long DLS loop, and got only 3Mbit. But, was charged for 6. Bummer. Straightened that out and switch to U-verse which has fiber optic to within 1/4 mile.

Now I get a solid 12. Must get to 30.

i only wish i could get them speeds.....

Fios is not in my area, or I would have that.
Cannot complain though. Still have fiber, just not quite as fast.

and Time Warner is just fucking terrible

The worst part about Time Warner, besides their terrible service, bad customer support & ridiculously high prices is that they have a stranglehold on the market. Up until FioS became available my only other choices were earthlink or roadrunner, both of which rent lines from Time Warner. It's the same service, same price, different name on the bill.

I took great joy in cancelling my Time Warner service. I even made them come to my house to pickup their crappy cable boxes.

The fuckers wanted the remote controls to boot! I bought every remote control in my house for $15 each. I told them if they want the remotes they're gonna have to pay me for them. They didnt want them that bad.

Considering that I just cut back on my bill and only pay for 15 down, I think this is pretty good. Amaximus, you say it is $25 cheaper but do not tell us the total cost so it makes it hard to compare. I'm paying $32/month including $7 for modem lease. As soon as my new modem gets here I will be paying only $25.

You're right I didnt state any numbers. I was really just venting about time warner and wasn't thinking of numbers. Time warner charged $49.99 for whatever they're calling their service, I had upload speeds of 60Kbs! Woohoo! What a joke. But anyway...

With all the promotions thrown in and the 2 year contract, yada, yada, yada, I'm paying something like $24.99 a month. I'm sure each price is whatever weird shit it works out to be after taxes and shit but those are the numbers.

Included in my service but of no charge to me is:
Wireless Router @ $139.99 Fee Waived
FiOS Internet Installation Charge @ $79.99 Fee Waived
FiOS Internet Activation Fee @ $29.99 Fee Waived

Discounts applied every month for 24 months:
$10 24 Mo. Bundle Credit Included
$5 24-Month Contract Discount Included

Yeah that sounds right... I think. Whatever, I'm baked.

Will be moving to a house at the end of august. I hope FIOS is around that area

...damn my numbers are low. Comcast isn't as good as I thought I guess.
