Just got it installed today. So far it is about 80 billion times better than the DSL. Anyone else just get it…it just came available in Baldwin a little while ago. ---

I have never had my cable go out :knockonwood: and fios is relatively new. I would probably get fios if it was available over my cable, just to say I have fiber internet. 😃 ---
