Fiber optics? I used to work for verizon and for all they spout off at the mouth about it.. it just never delivers. Save yourself the extra few dollars and get a high meg DSL line. Better tech support. Fewer worries.
As for myself, I cant truly test it at the moment.. got a few downloads that're around 90% and upload is 48 KB but in-use. Running a 3 meg line from SBC.
