The future is now, etc.
The Boston Globe has an article about Verizon’s new FiOS system, a system which is 30 times faster than my old DSL and 600 times faster than dialup. Because I happened to be moving at the right time, I was actually one of the first people in town to be hooked up to the new service.
It is pretty fast, but you won’t notice it as much while browsing the web as when downloading. If you’re copying a 30MB file, it’s much faster; if you’re just loading a 200k webpage, then the limiting factor is going to be your machine, not the line.
Still, it’s about the same price as Comcast, and a lot faster. Woo hoo.
