shyjedi2005, do you know that a megabit and a megabyte are two different things? A megabit (Mb) is 1,000,000 bits. A megabyte (MB) is 8,000,000 bits. A byte is 8 bits. Internet service is always advertised in bits per second. So if you have 20 megabit service, divide that by 8 and that is how many megabytes you should see downloaded per second downloading from a site that does not cap you download speed, but most do cap. Especially at that speed. So you should see 2.5 megabytes per second downloads with that speed. You're making it sound like Version Fios sucks. I think it is the best internet/television/voice service you can get residentially. Ping times are also optimal on a fiber optic network. Plus your data is literally traveling at the speed of light, on copper lines there is a lot of packet loss and errors and the data doesn't travel quite as fast as the speed of light a long copper so your internet is literally faster. I wish it was available where I live.

Not throwing in virus and spyware protection is no big deal. There is plenty of free internet protection stuff, and that is so overated. People want you to think the internet is a dangerouys place so you will buy anti spyware/virus protection. Comcast charges an arm and leg for that crap you don't even need and they hit you with tone of hidden rental fees for stuff like that.
