Lots of negativity here… Ok people, THIS ISN’T DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE ALREADY WITH CABLE!! This is an entirely different market. Many homes have no access to DSL or cable internet, and only have wireless options and dial-up. I am in such a home due to the builder’s stupidity. My options are as follows: dial-up, satelite, Clearwire (currently have these a**holes), and the data capped wireless options from cell phone providers. This would provide someone like me with reliable, high speeds; something that no other company could do, with a high data cap if I’m willing to pay for it. SO, COMPARE THIS TECHNOLOGY TO OTHERS IN ITS CLASS LIKE CLEARWIRE, NOT FREAKING CABLE!!!

Seems like those within range of LTE are within range of FiOS. So, why? Im not that rural and I get neither. They are up to something.

Another attempt by Verizon to make you their b****. This will FAIL, lose money, create layoffs. Now, rinse and repeat! Seriously stop with all this tiered, throttled, overage BS. Even from the beginning, if some of you can remember when the first cellphone came out, MINS where handled this way, then came texting, and now data. I seriously can not wait for the next medium to be developed, then throttled, tiered and overaged into uselessness. Please by all means make money, just make it FAIR.

Umm… my Netflix account would kill that quick. Nice speeds, but the cap would be the death of it. My Verizon DSL (>2Mbs) does better than the Cable (<1Mbs) internet (Booo comcast). But my buddy has FIOS and gets 30Mbs easy.

Is this a joke? Those ludicrous bandwidth caps make the service completely useless.

BW caps don’t even help with congestion (like throughput limiting would) and are nonsensical from a technical point of view

Just another ploy of Verizon to stop the roll out of Fios to rural areas
