I've had it since Friday and so far it seems pretty good. I'm getting faster speeds on downloads than I used to, although I can't say that web surfing is much faster feeling than my Cablevision Optimum service.

The installation took from about 9:15 until 3:30. It was a lot of work on the part of the installer and another guy who came for a short time just to run the fibre optic from the pole to my house. I have the 10/2mbit and for $35, it sure beats $50 cable service.

They provided a wireless router/modem also, which is pretty big for some reason. There's a larger junction box on the side of my house where the fibre comes in and there are analog connections there for regular phone service I think. In the basement, there is a power supply and a battery backup (this is meant for voice service only) for phone service during blackout. I don't have voice service though, so this isn't going to do much for me. The installer was very friendly and did a very nice and clean install. This must have cost Verizon a lot of money, but I guess eventually everyone will be on fibre. In december, they will be rolling out tv service over this line, but I have DirecTV already.

I'm in NJ by the way.
