i2d | ScruFFy | Posted January 14, 2006 CID Share Posted January 14, 2006 If you think about , the connection is still shared , and they basically block almost all the ports for hosting any type of server, Also there are still bandwidth limits each month (Not unlimited transfer per month) . And you can only surf the net so fast anyways , why do people like showing off there FIOS , if they cant use there high speeds to do anything> If i had a chance to get it , i would definetly go with the business package.

Dilatedpeoples28 Posted January 14, 2006 CID Share Posted January 14, 2006 it is shared but no it does not have bandwidth limitations, also people like it cuz of the low latency.

resopalrabotnick Posted January 14, 2006 CID Share Posted January 14, 2006 Actually there are , it is still a shared connection and you affect other users. since when do you care about other users. besides, a shared connection is not always bad. if you have x amount of bandwidth on the line toatal, and the y bandwidth each user receives times the number of users equals or is less than x, there is no problem with people getting slowed down. overselling bandwidth is the problem, not the shared connection.

VanBuren Posted January 14, 2006 CID Share Posted January 14, 2006 all internet traffic is "shared", you dont own 1.5 Mbps all over the world just because you pay for a dedicated T1 I havent seen any unhappy Verizon FIOS customer yet, so i guess they havent oversold the bandwidth VanBuren Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/10512-what-is-the-point-of-having-verizon-fios/#findComment-109993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
i2d | ScruFFy | Posted January 14, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 14, 2006 i dont have a ded T1....... i know all traffic is shared but there not going to give you 15/2 and let you run servers on it and have like 10 lines in your house and make a business off 45$ /month connections. They must limit the traffic , if not now , then when many users get on .

ZeroOne Posted January 15, 2006 CID Share Posted January 15, 2006 I have had Fios for about 5 months now and it is fantastic. I got the 5Mb/2Mb plan for $30/month. The 15/2 for $45 is actually the better deal, but then I thought to myself, what the hell am I gonna do with 15 Mb/s download speeds?
