    So the Fios guy left my house a few hours ago, and I just got around to configuring my wireless on their router and running me a speedtest... I think the results here speak for themselves.

    What's that costing you a month? It's a shame there's only one choice for internet up here in Alaska...

    Download isn't the best I've had, but upload and ping are just... wow. Spectacular.

    Just over $40 a month. Oddly enough, the service level I pay for is only supposed to get 15Mb/s down and 5Mb/s up. Oh well, I'll take it :D

    Wait - so you got FiOS, and that's your speed over wireless? :jawdrop: Have you tried it on wired yet?

    wireless G or N maxes out at well past those speeds. it shouldn't make any difference whether he's connected wired or wireless.

    Look at the speed test... Verizon. AFAIK Verizon is one of the only ones that has a FIOS option.

    AT&T has fiber-optic internet too, but its implementation is slightly different than Verizon's. I think AT&T runs a fiber optic cable to a single box for a neighborhood or area, and uses traditional copper to get from there to each house; Fios runs fiber-optics to the premises and then runs coax or ethernet to their router.

    @Djo: The screenshot above is on ethernet from the router to my computer; on wireless g across the house, I get around 23Mb/s down and 20Mb/s up.

    Oh FFS. I didn't see that. :wallbash:

    I can't wait until they offer that connection where I live, Chicago's north suburbs don't get any love.
