Re: [PLUG] Verizon FiOS Business Internet Questions


My Comcast with /28 block (13 addresses) is less than the /27 I had with SpeakEasy but their T1 became worthless especially at over $400/month (when I dropped them some years ago).  Few CLECs can compete with Comcast's Business Class pricing but VZ is one of them but which such few true competitor higher bandwidth stuff services are pricey.  In my case I'm saving a substantial amount in opex while getting many multiples more in up and downstream bandwidth.

If Google Fiber ever does come to the Philadelphia market its going to be a game changer.

I have Verizon FiOS with 5 static IPs. No filtering. No complaints other
than the large monthly bill.
