Verizon FiOS pushes the envelope
« on: July 19, 2006, 01:51:15 am »
50 mbps down/10 mbps up. $90 a month.

God damnit. I am so envious of this. I am drooling. I WANT FIOS NOW!

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

My friend has it (he lives in Holland, Pennsylvania, it's a suburb of Philly).  FiOS would only be $50 for us because we have other contracts with Verizon, so basically we'd be upgrading from 768kbps DSL to 50mbps for nothing.  Is that pwn or what?
