Verizon Fios Ultimate-150mbps

[zonemods]

What would you do with this internet connection?http://www22.verizon.com/Residential/Bundles/Landing/fiosinternet_ultimate/fiosinternet_ultimate.htm#


Of course gaming and downloading movies, songs, and applications. But is it worth the $200 price tag. You may heave the fastest internet in the neighborhood but is it overkill? Is it worth it after 50mbps.

To me if you can afford it and you want it you should get it. Especially with multiple users on the network at one time(small business, home offices, and maybe a multi-million dollar mansion) I may not be able to afford it now 🙁 but i will one day

Give your thoughts is worth it, do you have it, and is a an overkill

im waiting for comcast to get the 50/10 fully tested and for sale at half the price currently.. i saw a commercial that said they will be soon doubling all bandwidth.. so if i could get 100/20 for $100 i would be all over that

150 mbps residential is only a theory in America.
Though Asia and now even Britain has gigabit per second.
In America we just get huge bills and slow service.

My Verizon 150mbps barely hits 39mbps down and 1.9mbps up.
Most likely Verizon will bill me the full amount and make it a battle to settle on a reasonable amount.

I'll give Verizon a week or so to fix it, especially considering that I am pioneering this bandwidth in my area. If they cannt fix it, I'll either switch providers or settle back to a 35mbps plan assuming they can at least fix the upload speed.

Verizon is a major headache. Getting anything done with them takes hours, days, weeks. And canceling a service is a battle.

Corporate America sigh...
