Anyone in the coverage area for Verizon FiOS (FTTP – Fiber to the premises)
should get it and never look back.
I have the 15 Down / 2 Up package at 44.95/mo (installation is free,
including the battery backup). In the year and a half I’ve had it, it’s
never gone out and NEVER dropped below 15 Mbps.
Google it. No unhappy customers (except for those who can’t get the service
yet). The coverage area is being expanded as quickly as they can lay fiber.

Subject: Re: DSL vs Cable for Trading
AT&T.Yahoo DSL is my primary feed now-
I had used Comcast & Timewarner Roadrunner for- the past umpteen
years-thinking that I HAD to have the 'fastest speed' Cable has been fraught
with problems/ periods of instability- competition for bandwidth, outages,
you name it.
I finally said enough is enough- and opted for the DSL- 15 bucks a month
compared to 45 bucks.
I pitched the cable completely about six months ago.
I have NEVER had any problems since then.
But I did get the roadrunner back a few months ago,(price dropped to
25/month) just to use in case of emergency- insurance purposes only- it is
my second feed on my dual wan router- so if DSL were to every go out, I
might have a backup..
Go with DSL.
