Verizon FiOs vs. cable???

Question

the only thing i care about is internet speed. Is Fios faster than roadrunner cable service on timewarner cable? I heard it's 5 times faster, yet my friend got it and it sucked.

Answer 1

you can get upto 30/5 with cable...

with fios you can get 20/20 but it is like 2 or 3 times more expensive then cable...  

Answer 2

FiOS is the fastest thing going, but it is pricey and not available yet in all areas.  Cable is fast enough for most purposes.

Answer 3

Depends on the speed that you buy...

Answer 4

Not sure how fast Roadrunner is but I get something like 15mbps down & 2.1mbps up.  Can download stuff at almost 2 megabytes per second (~1.8) and upload stuff at about ~180kilobytes / second.  A lot better than our old verizon DSL that downloaded at 80kilobytes/second lol.  So I think I have the cheapest package.  No one in the house has had problems with it since we got it.  The speeds are pretty d**n fast for what I use it for & it is reliable I'm not a wild child with the internet or anything.  Hope this helps
