				 | That is awsome -- I cannot even imagine running at that speed.  I have been on FIOS for awhile now and it is fast.  No problems so far.    |

				 | Yeah John you told me about that.
 Verizon has bumped up their speeds.  5meg down 2 meg up is now going to be 10down 2up
 
 15/2  is now going to be 20/5, and 30/5 I heard was going to 50/5
 
 If you already have fios and are not getting those speeds, call and inquire about it.  I heard differant stories about it happening automatically, and not, I had to call.
