I've had FIOS for 8 years and it is the greatest service I have ever experienced. Currently I pay $74.95 per month for:
1. Prime TV lineup
2. Unlimited landline phone service
3. 75 M/bps downstream and 35 M/bps upstream Internet
Whenever I run a speedtest, the amount I always get more than the speed I'm promised. Typically see a floor of 80 M/bps downsteam and 40 M/bps upstream.
It is rock-solid reliable, my IP address never changes unless I unplug my router for more than a day and it is completely unfiltered Internet - they don't physically stop you from running servers.
I probably transfer 500 GB per month every month and I would consider myself a "heavy user" of bandwidth. As you said, 77 TB of bandwidth in one month is outside of normal use patterns to an insane degree.
- specialp 13y agoI agree with that all as a FIOS customer but one thing that is burning me up is their refusal to CDN with YouTube and Netflix. There are times where YouTube is unusable even with 50Mbit connection. They also are fighting hard in court to have this behavior by filing lawsuits against net neutrality. The internet is great from them but when the 2 biggest bandwidth sites on the internet are slow it is a big deal. You cannot get HD Netflix from them but they offer a competing service which they CDN with and give you HD which is a conflict of interest.
- arielweisberg 13y agoI find you can get better results depending on what device you are streaming from. If I stream Netflix from my PC I get terrible quality, but if I use my PS3 I get 1080P Super HD pretty consistently. I am guessing they route to different locations and some are less congested.
