I use SSH regularly, and FTP to archive.org works last I checked.

I'd like to read these stories, since I've generally heard the
reverse.  (well, that is, I've heard plenty of bitching about comcast,
but so far not much about FiOS.)  then again, empirical testing does
seem much more on point.

despite upgrading to 15/15 (symmetric), I haven't yet observed my
upstream increase with scp.  I haven't yet confirmed whether the
bottleneck happens to be my remote server (i.e. other users) or
whether symmetric internet comes with a string attached of packet
shaping for either the default ssh port or ssh-encrypted content in
general.  unfortunately, dreamhost throttles their scp bandwidth too
(I think users are supposed to use s/ftp for that) so that's not a
viable test.

or it's so "new" that verizon still doesn't really have the
implementation yet.  or there's some kind of misconfiguration since my
ONT is from when FiOS was very first deployed.
