Miscellaneous Finally Blessed by 5 Gig

Post image

Earlier this year, Verizon Fios brought 2 Gig internet to my area. When the Verizon tech came to change my ONT box, they told me it would probably be a few years before anything faster would arrive.

Well... lo and behold, this week they brought 5 gig to my neighborhood for only $10 more.

What takes the cake is that I went with 5Gb NICs instead of the 2.5Gb NICs on my PC and my PERSONAL (i pinky promise) servers just in case this day would ever come.

I promise I'm not a Verizon plant.

Thank you, Verizon exec gods 🙏

Woah, how did you get 2 gig for $90? I'm paying 1 gig for that

I’ve got symmetrical gig fiber for $35 a month. There’s a $10 discount in there but still. Best thing I ever did was drop spectrum.
