So today was the day, I ditched that old high speed internet technology, and upgraded to Verizon’s Fios fiber-optic internet and tv service.  I must say, I am impressed.  My computer is rather slow, but it’s not the ISP’s fault.  I subscribed to the internet (20 mb/s DL/2 mb/s UL) and HD package, and I will be paying roughly the same as Time Warner, somewhere around $120.  Expensive, but worth it.  Here is my real time internet speed test results:

16.8 mb/s download, and 1.73 mb/s upload
