cablevision offers a similar product called boost for home users. it's something like an extra 15 bucks a month.


for home users it seems like overkill to me. it's pointless to have that much bandwidth for most. hell most of the cable modems people have in their homes are the real bottleneck (many of cablevisions modems come with a 10baseT internet connection instead of 100baseT-- which means you are basically stranded to a max of 10mbit's in and out total.)

FIOS isn't availble in my state.

But my company is a fiber optic company and they're simply amazing.
