cdf216 Posted January 12, 2006 CID Share Posted January 12, 2006 From what I've heard FIOS 15/2 is always on. however FIOS severly blocks ports including ones commonly used for P2P applications, running game servers, and even blocks web hosting. so you can't run servers of any type with FIOS. Though normal uploading and downloading browsing etc is allowed. I'm not sure if there are any usage caps. I was thinking of geting FIOS until they refused to install it in my apartment building Glad RR Tampa Bay offers 15/2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdf216 Posted January 12, 2006 CID Share Posted January 12, 2006 thx 6arett I was going by things I had heard about FIOS possibly blocking applications such as emule and limewire etc. Thanks for the clarification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilatedpeoples28 Posted January 12, 2006 CID Share Posted January 12, 2006 wireless speeds depends on alot of things, distance, product used, and if they are using encryption of any kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
