    I'm paying almost $60 for 15mbps, is this worth it?

    $60 for 15mbps?? that's a rip off! im with Comcast and have 150mbps down and 10mbps up for $90. i also have Verizon Fios available, thinking about switching because Verizon's upload matches their download 150/150, Also Verizon is $20 cheaper. Anyway, it sounds like a very good deal
