Currently I am set to get the 5 mbps down and 2 mbps up plan.
My typical internet use is general browsing with an occasional batch of large file downloads. I also do some weekly uploading of around 100 to 200 megs.
My questions are:
Is it worth upgrading to 15/2 for $10 extra per month?
How about 30/5 for $15 per month?
Are torrents and P2P able to work on FIOS Internet?
I have heard there are issues with the # of P2P connections overloading the relay.
What are the actual download and upload speeds you are seeing? (in terms of bytes/sec)
On a separate note:
How is the provided router?
Should I just connect my personal wireless router to the Verizon provided one? or Remove the Verizon one entirely?
Will I lose options/content by removing the Verizon one?
Does Verizon or will I lose automatic support/repair options provided by Verizon?
Thank you,
Jason

In update to my previous post:
5/2 is working just fine for me
30/5 has drastically gone up in price
The provided router is actually not too shabby, but I am only using it as the modem/gateway and then using a personal router.

Hey Jason,
I have almost the same question about cost vs benefit and those 2 speeds ( 5/2 and 15/2). Did anyone ever get back to you? What did you finally end up doing?
