Not the UK... Though they dont have faster speeds normally...

The UK has retarded regulations as is. Like forcing Microsoft to ship XP without Media Player or IE.

Anyway! Time Warner is already testing this somewhere in Texas I believe, not sure on the bandwidth limit though.

I think Comcast is blocking my ubah pr0n sites, even thou I know shortcuts to get to the l00t. There pushing the main gateway/parent directory of the site to search.com rofl. It just started happening like 3 hours ago too so.. hmmp.

Why would comcast do that.. I mean how can you not like hot nude chicks. Maybe I should email jay leno and tell him the story.. he talks about pr0n all the time on late night, so does connan.

nm.. I think the site was just getting worked on. Even thou I was able to still bypass directly to media. ^^

caps are stupid :P though I hear that several other ISP's have caps that have been in place for a while and they're not even 1/10th of the cap that comcast is providing :P

Can any explain FiOS to me? lol /* is too lazy to look it up */ i'm a current comcast user... and I haven't had much of any problems with it :P

Fios is Verizons fiber optic service. Phone, internet, and TV content. While some cable providers have a digital fiber network (Like Time Warner), it still boils down to a hunk of coax running into your house, and that limits bandwidth.
My Time Warner just upgraded me from 4mbps to 10mbps while Fios offers 25 and 50mbps speeds. They also have virtually unlimited TV bandwith which translates to hundreds of HD channel potential.
Yeah, I'll be switching over.

Yes, Commander Riker, fiber right to the modem.
