Nah, there's no way that's the cheapest fios package. I've got the cheapest and yours is like 3 times the speed of mine. My dallas test center was like 20 miles away, too. I did have a ping of 50 ms though, so who knows.

of course unless i got... PWND BY VERIZON.
I'm not sure. My mom doesn't know, despite having picked it out. The cheapest package is 10mb down/2mb up, and the next tier up is 20/5, so either way my results seem a bit odd, either I'm way over or getting very gimped download.

That's over twice as fast as my cable connection. How much is that a month?
Cheapest internet only package is like $50 a month.

And is anyone else disgusted by comcast's advertising? I went to their site to see how it compares as far as speed/price goes, but all I see is shit like:
Quote
Downloads speeds up to 20 Mbps with PowerBoost and upload speeds up to 4 Mbps with PoweBoost.
PowerBoost provides bursts of download and upload speeds for the first 20 MB and 10 MB of a file, respectively. Many factors affect speed. Actual speeds vary and are not guaranteed
(typo theirs)

I know actual speeds are never guaranteed on consumer grade lines but that's just a new shitty level of deceptive advertising imo

Of course Otakon > Katsucon.  It's the biggest on the east coast.  However, I'm going with 13 members of the Anime Club I founded- Otakon is in the summer and I've been out of state during the last two for research programs.
