Verizon Taking FTTP Installation Orders
ooglek writes "Verizon is now qualifying and accepting installations for FTTP (Fiber To the Premises)! $39.95 for 5MB/2MB, $49.95 for 15MB/2MB, and $199.95 for 30MB/5MB. No word yet on whether Verizon will block ports (25, 80, etc) for incoming or outgoing traffic; with 2MB upload, I hope to basically run a small data center in my basement. Both phone and Internet will come through the fiber, and there is an unofficial rumor of video services as well by the end of this year. Got Fiber? My install date is November 2nd in Falls Church, VA (near DC). Several people in Keller, Texas have posted pictures and reported 14,679 kbps download and 1,794 kbps download speeds." Update: 10/26 23:52 GMT by T : That second "download" ought probably read "upload."
Vote for a Man, Vote for Bush!
Not a liberatarian flipflop hippie.
I'm sorry, but you've no idea how ridiculous you sound. God I hope you aren't voting.
P.S. Its libertarian, not liberatarian.
pr0n
All your Sybase are belong to us.
not to mention, libertarians are often to the RIGHT of republicans on issues like taxes, gun control, and the environment.
people this ignorant shouldn't be allowed to vote.
i could live a little longer in this prison
I'm sorry, but you've no idea how ridiculous you sound.
As ridiculous as all those people making caricatures of Bush and comparing him to a Chimp and what not?
God I hope you aren't voting.
Why? Because you disagree with me?
Nice.

No. Because your signature conveys such a profound sense of naivete and absurdity that I can only hope you were joking when you said what you said. John Kerry is no libertarian. Libertarians are far-right wingers (isolationism, pro-gun, privatization, etc) that make Bush look like a liberal. That and the fact that you misspelled libertarian, indicated to me, a level of political awareness more in line with a "My daddy said this so I'm voting for Bush" voter than your typical slashdotter thus reminding me of my personal desire for politically uneducated individuals to be barred from access to the ballot (In a comical sense).
