They kind of had to with DOCSIS 3.1 right around the corner. Speed doesn't really mean shit if they put in low data caps, especially with everyone switching to streaming TV.

Verizon will never run fiber the The Keys but that is a good price for people that live in civilization.

It's a great value for the 1200 people in the continental US that have the service available.

Planning to move from NJ w/ Verizon FIOS to Lawrence KS, and either pay for really spotty gigabit fiber or get ATT w/ useage cap.

Fucking midwest.

Indeed - same down in at least this section of FL - I don't miss much from MD, but FIOS and Old Bay being used in restaurants are definitely two of the things I do miss.

I'm not only concerned about usage cap. How aggresive is Verizon about moderating what you download? I know comcast is a bunch of fucking Nazis.

Right now I pay $70 a month for Frontier that is 75 down promised, but we'll hit 125, and they don't give a shit what we do. Torrents, game hosting, etc.

4 years with fios, i'd say Verizon doesn't give a fuck.

It'd be nice if I could get some fucking competition from Mediacom where I live.

Stuck with $65 for 10/5, with a 250GB monthly cap. It wouldn't be so bad if I were paying like $30 or something for that, but I feel like I'm getting robbed every single month. Shit, it'd be $70 if I were using their modem, too.

i mean what you got sucks compared to others, but if thats the best you can get in your neighborhood, not much you can do but complain.

Im stuck with Cableone and a 300gb data cap where I moved to. Oh wait, they advertise NO data caps, its a data "guideline" and if you go over it a whopping three times you are forced to upgrade to a higher tier for 20$ more, and can never lower it.

I am about to be in the next tier.
