I pay $40 for a Verizon FIOS connection. It's marketed as 300Mbps but my speed test just now showed 120Mbps. But it also consistently exceeds 100Mbps on the upstream. It's easily the best home internet connection I've had since the university dorms in the late 90's. They also offer 1Gbps for $70, which is tempting but really unnecessary for my needs.
I don't understand why I'm getting such an amazing deal! It's a fixed price, not a special. And this is in Manhattan, where most things are noticeable more expensive than in the rest of the country!
Previously, I lived in SF and was forced to use Comcast because they were the only option in my old, rent-controlled building. I paid a lot more, both for the service and for modem rental, but received much slower speeds. I hope the FIOS model is finally making it to more of the country. But 3 years ago I couldn't even get it in downtown SF!
