yea i think if im entering in my address right its not offered by me yet, which to me seems weird since im just out side in the suburbs of milwaukee.

if i can tell my mom to get ride of cable and get that its not much of a price change.

This isn't FiOS though. FiOS's fastest package is 15 Mbps. This is 100 Mbps, which is incredible. A G router can't handle that, it's only 54 Mbps.

FIber is going to finally kill the music industry as well as the movies!!!!



but i cant wait till i get it

hahah



i live in CALI
and some areas already have it


100Mb line would be a waste of money

no one will use that much b/w.

hence why verizon fios is a lot less
yet 3x or more then cable

Anyone live in any of these towns? It says speeds up to 100 Mbps...that's pretty quick. 12.5 MBps. You could download a full CD in a few seconds. A movie in a minute. Crysis in 8 minutes.

Obviously that's theoretical bandwidth and the actual max speeds wouldn't be that fast...but wow...

ooohhhhh YES!!!!!!!! i might be going to Bournemouth in sep for uni!!!

Wait, it it can only handle 54Mbps, then why do i have a card that goes up to 108Mbps, and my router supports that, if i miss understanding something please do tell.

my router is RangeMax Wireless Router WPN824, its a netgear
and my card im talking about well i just have the model # and that is WGT311
