They have been flooding me with incentives to get it installed but I don't see the need for it when my cable does fine. If I was doing high number of transfers daily I could see it but honestly the gains aren't that impressive for the added cost.

Thats their startup offer, check the fineprint and see what the long term cost is

They offered me a pretty smoking deal for it too initially then I read the print and after a year the cost was more than my cable tv/internet combo was costing me.

I can't wait for Fios. We should have it soon in my area. If you like HD TV Fios is the best...
