People do have favorite providers and brand loyalty, but as fshowcars pointed out, you are limited to whoever is providing service in your area. About %75 of the installs that I complete in a week are either Adelphia or Comcast customers switching for cheaper internet. The other subscribers are existing Verizon subs that want to upgrade. ---

Hopefully you will get one of the uber fast FiOS hooker uppers grnteg98 or vichix. They can make your 5Mbs run at 10Mbs. They work so fast…:burnout: :kekegay: Hey teg…10-7 DOES suck for OT. I think I got a whopping 2 hours last week. BTW…I heard one of the Cu guys is going to file a grievance against us for workin’ OT outside our area. You hear anything? the rumor mill churns… ---

> [@BlkP42E](#): > > so you wouldnt be able to hook up “the same” speedy in my area? ross twp? I was being a bit sarcastic, mainly in response to my coworkers. I hope they have a VZ day! Verizon has already started increasing FiOS speeds at no additional charge, especially in areas where Comcast is running their commercials that say their HSI is faster than FiOS. They offer 6 Mbps DL and 16 Mbps DL packages, but most people rarely ever see the full download speed. Our 5Mbps/2Mbps package will increase to 10Mbps down. If you don’t want the phone service you can get Internet only on credit card billing and it is $34.95 a month. I have seen alot of people that only get FiOS internet and then using Sun Rocket or another VoIP provider for a very low monthly cost. ---

cool. They probably won’t know when the faster speeds (10Mbps) are going to be in effect in this area, but you can ask. For now you will have to settle for the 5Mbps or 15Mbps download speeds. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/can-anyone-get-a-hookup-w-fios/183193.md?page=1)
