Don't forget, they can do QoS on their side to make sure their VoIP
services work, where others may have difficulties..

We just got fios installed here the other day (just moved to Marlton),
and thus far, it's been amazingly great.  20M down, 5M up for $39/mo
for 1 year, at which time it goes to $45, or we can downgrade to 10/2
for the $39, or if they have another promo, get on that as well.

How fast?  I downloaded the FC5 dvd iso in 25 minutes.  My download
speed was about 2500 KB/sec.
