Fios is the shit, and what are you talking about 50/25 is what you get? That's the service Owns and I have, and we consistently can reach 60-65mbps down and 35mbps upload on speedtest.

I've had Verizon FIOS since it came out in my area, around 2008 and have had nothing but impeccable speeds and service (both over the phone and Online Live Chat) from them. Now I agree Verizon has made some shitty moves when it comes to customer privacy. I'll wait until that Google Fiber comes to the tri-state area before I switch to anything else though.
