I just saw that they had a plan for $65/month that was 15 down/ 15 up, which would be freakin sweet compared to my 1.5 down/ 768 up if I am lucky.

I wish I could get FIOS in my building. I can SEE a neighborhood that gets FIOS from my balcony, but it's clear on the other side of a highway from me. No dice.

For that kind of bandwidth, I would go outside with a shovel and run my own lines if it was that close.
