Anyone have it?

It's available in my area and I am thinking about switching to it to lower my bills and hopefully get something more stable than Adelphia.

some guys here at work have it in their area and they say it rocks...blazing fast speed puts cable to shame.

They said they have never had any down time with fios either which is a good thing.

My brother has it and it beats my T1 line hands down... however they do not have fixed IPs yet as of a few weeks ago

lol

Yes I have a full T1 line in my house but I have 3 phone lines broke out of it... so I only have 1.3mb up and down

But I run a business out of my house so the business pays for it

** EDIT **

Incidently, FIOS I would get also but the cut off for FIOS is 110 Yards North of my property... everything South of that line is SBC only :-(

I had no idea fiber was available to the general public. I wonder what the technology is, exactly. They don't spell it out in the FAQ enough for me to figure it out. They seem to contradict themselves in it... This stuff is up my alley - more or less.. what I used to do for work. Unfortunately though my house isn't wired for it. :(
The rates seem very competative! I'm very suprised at that.
