Get Verizon Fios Internet if you can

Okay. I know this really doesn't have anything to do with Red carpet or entertainment but indirectly it does. As a photographer who has to upload photos that are large in size or uploading a bunch at a time, Verizon Fios is a God-send. Verizon Fios is the new fiber optic way of getting the internet connection, television and telephone service to your home.

As for me, I was slightly skeptical in the true download and upload speeds. Imagine connecting to Youtube.com, watching various music videos, tv shows, etc online with not sputterings of connections. I am on what Verizon calls the 15/2 plan. That is 15mbps download and 2 mbps upload. My brother has definitely seen the difference as he watches various tv shows via the internet at his place. No more waiting for buffering.

Check out the link and you'll see my speed test of my service. Try it yourself. Here's my results

Imagine in the future if movie studios started releasing movies via the internet and having the fast speed that Verizon Fios. And if you use itunes, downloads are like a flash.

So I guess this post about Verizon Fios does deal with entertainment. If you live in an area that has Verizon, I'd say dump your cable modem or dsl for Verizon Fios and you'll be able to connect to my blog quicker and photos download on your web browswer faster.
