Wow do you have a link? I checked FiOS website and didn't see that
offer. How much do you pay in fees/taxes on that each month? That is
really fast. Is that price just good for 1 year? If so how much will
you have to pay when the 1 year offer is up?

Latency is the ping speed right? Why is their latency more if they are so fast?

Can you get FiOS if you just have regular ethernet card and no router?
Do they supply a DSL modem? Does FiOS come with static ip? What
authentication does it use?
