First I am happy to see that Surewest FIOS got a topic (seems like my request for one back when I posted my 10Mbit test went through)  Smile

A couple months back I got surewest's 10Mbps/10Mbps FIOS with 75GB bandwidth limit (Standard was 40GB for $50/month) and it was great. The download was fast and the upload was unbeatable for a residential connection. The only thing that sucked was the 75GB limit.
Now I was shocked when I got a promotion in the mail that said they were now offering 20Mbps/20Mbps FIOS  with UNLIMITED bandwidth. And what made this even better is that it was the same price as my 10Mbit line with extra bandwidth at $89.95. I called up ASAP and switched it over and after I got off the phone with them I was on a 20Mbps connection.
The great thing about this connection is that I can actually get higher than 20Mbps (Up to 30Mbps) if I have a ton of connections open with something like BT.

If you live in Surewests service area (Greater Sacramento Area, Roseville) I would highly recommend you get their service and upgrade to the 20Mbit.
Just to give you perspective, so far in August I have downloaded 700GB and uploaded 1.5TB. I also run a private ftp and a web server.

I just found out that I am on the Level 3 Black Fiber backbone for the United States and Europe which means I get superlow pings even over great distances.

Verizon FIOS sucks compared to Surewest. Razz

Yep, your connection seems to be doing the damn thing! Smile

I would think your upload would be alot faster here. Have you tweaked at all?

If not, read here: [STICKY] Before you post your problems read this!

  Dang we you live I want to move there lol? I would love that I would no longer pay for hosting just setup a server on a 20mbs/20mbs heck yea. It would save alot of money. Heck even cable probably love that it may not be fast enough to run this site on but it would be cool. I would love to have it I am stuck with slow dsl for now can't even get version fios yet it sucks to live in oklahoma lol.
