I just found out that my house is finally available for FiOS internet. Verizon is furiously installing FiOS around the country, bringing fiber to households. You can get 15 mbits down/2 mbits up for only 45 dollars a month. This is twice as fast and just as cheap as Comcast’s current offer.
Now, only how to convince the parents that their daily email checking and occasional ebay auctions is worth the hassles of switching over.
