Well, that was the point of the thread - I'd like to understand what the value is for the higher speeds. What makes a $200/month line worthwhile?

BTW, our company did the engineering in your area.
The thread on dslreports.com about the FIOS rollout in Pittsburgh had people foaming at the mouth wanting to know if they were going to get it in their area. People would stop the installers on the street to ask them what they were doing and what CO they were working on! One person moved to Dormont just to be able to get FIOS once it was confirmed that area was being turned on.
I wouldn't want to go back to dialup but I was confused about what is so incredible about it that someone would move in order to get a higher speed line.
If you don't understand, then you don't need it.
I on the other hand am trying to find a place were FIOS is available... and I'm moving there! But I'm going for the 30/5 plan. $200/M is a bargain, seriously.

im moving into my house this weekend, when i did the walk thru last weekend, the front yard was tore up, i asked about it, and they said oh verizon is here tearing up the neighborhood installing fiber right now
i had the biggest smile on my face, and still do. can't wait
mind you, im coming from 15k ft from the CO dsl right now, barely able to hit 1.2 down. i had cable before, but charter has been SO sh1tty lately, giving me pings of 300-700 between 7pm-11pm every night. as you can imagine, i cannot play any online games because of that so i changed to dsl *sigh
Let just say it makes sharing stuff with friends and family member easier. You're almost at LAN speeds with a 30/5 connection.Originally posted by: kranky

I can't look up availability because it keeps asking for my home phone number which I don't have!
I'll have to use my neighbors address and phone

They determine which areas are best by population density and income. Obviously they want the most customers (who are willing to spend $50/mo.) possible. Homes around here are minimum $300k and are starting to get lit up... but I can confirm they hit the better towns ($600k) first. They're doing all the towns here eventually.Originally posted by: Muadib
Those of you that can get fios, are you rich or well off? It seems that only the rich can get it here, at least for this year. By rich I mean where homes are selling for $650K and above.

Damn nothing here yet in Canonsburg & no ETA.
My lease is up, is moving for broadband availability such a bad thing?
