TWC in the Greensboro, NC area only gives us about 256K upstream. “the average upstream connection speed used by cable broadband customers is 2.68″

I’m surprised by this. TWC in the Greensboro, NC area only gives us about 256K upstream.

Oh wait, Verizon FIOS isn't comming because Frontier is here and Frontier isn't running fiber - just crappy unreliable DSL. I cannot wait until Verizon FIOS is in Rochester!

I did hear though that by August, Verizon's planning on setting up some symmetrical tiers once they see how today's boost affects the network if any. But might I point out, in my area, Time Warner has Roadrunner at 15Mbps (Powerboosted)/2Mbps for $50-55 a month. Verizon is running 15Mbps/5Mbps FiOS for $45 a month. More speed for less money, that's how I like it :). If they go symmetrical then more power to them.
