Yah, cheap bastards :). I've got 50/50 fios right now; TWC can match the
downstream but it looks like the upstream maxes out at 20 :(. At least
for standard business internet, looks like their "Dedicated Internet
Access" can be had at up to 10G. Arg, no prices for anything online
though. I'd really hate to lose my upstream and I don't think I want to
know how much DIA costs ;). I'm paying $125 for 50/50 with 5 static IPs
right now. And I'm actually pretty happy with it other than the dead
silence regarding IPv6.

I suppose the average "business" user doesn't even know what IPv6 is
<sigh>, and Verizon probably doesn't care if they lose a handful of
techies :(. What has Frontier done about IPv6 in the fios territories
they've already purchased? Assuming the deal goes though I'll be a
Frontier customer by this time next year...
