A few months back I switched to Verizon FiOS Internet service, which I had been watching for some time and had just become available. My big motivation for the switch was a really nice advertised upload speed of 5mbps (with the premium package: ~$58/mo). This blows anything previously in the "even close to affordable" category out of the water and is nice if you're sending big files frequently.

I've been happy with the service since day one, but today I was sending some 10 megapixel images up to my webserver and thought I'd used the time I saved to post this plug for FiOS.

Now how about getting that franchise deal with the city worked out so I can get switched over to FiOS TV too? Rumor has it that FiOS will be carrying 150 HD channels by EOY 2008.
