That would be nice.

But I remember downloading songs off Napster at 3.5 kb/second back in the day. If it got up to 5 kb I thought I was zooming! Then 20-30 minutes later I had a “free” song. Brings back memories.

So with that in mind I don’t complain too much about 15 mb/second.

LOL I remember that too... I think, that's why it why it was called "Napster". Cause, you start some downloads, go take a "Nap"... then, come back and see how many (if any) completed successfully!

I spent years on dialup, and even bought a device so i could answer the phone while online, and would let it run all night to download a free Christian movie (I want to be legal), but now have Verizon for DSL for 30.00 a month.

Yet i is only 7mbps, and yet it was up to 15mbps just over the hill where we lived for 20 years. Same plan, but Verizon said the wires were newer.

And it looks like FIOS is stalled from further deployment.
