Which is great if you're in NYC. There are huge portions of the country -- I'm familiar with the former Bellsouth territories personally -- where you can't get FiOS or U-Verse at all.
I'm in a metro area with ~250k people, and you might be able to get 6Mbs DSL from AT&T; many areas of the city top out at 3Mbs.
- mikeash 13y agoEven here in Northern Virginia, it's spotty. Alexandria is still a FiOS-free zone, for example. Verizon was planning on it for a couple of years, but then changed their mind. Their statement said, essentially, that they already had enough FiOS customers and didn't need any more, thanks but no thanks.
