Fios performance

It's been a few months now that we have been living with Verizon Fios after ditching Comcast, and I can say that the two most important criteria are being fulfilled; they are:

1) Reliability: it's always up, and the issues we had initially with connectivity were resolved and have not returned.

2) Performance/speed: this screenshot says it all:



(1901 KB converts to 14.85 megabits, which is right at the service level we are paying for)

So, Fios is two for two in my book, and I am loving it. Vista does *not* do the smoking fast downloads that XP does, though, so if I have something large to download like the 800 meg ISO in the screenshot above I remote into a computer that is running XP and download it there.
