Slashdot | Verizon Taking FTTP Installation Orders

Slashdot | Verizon Taking FTTP Installation Orders: "'Verizon is now qualifying and accepting installations for FTTP (Fiber To the Premises)! $39.95 for 5MB/2MB, $49.95 for 15MB/2MB, and $199.95 for 30MB/5MB. No word yet on whether Verizon will block ports (25, 80, etc) for incoming or outgoing traffic; with 2MB upload, I hope to basically run a small data center in my basement. Both phone and Internet will come through the fiber, and there is an unofficial rumor of video services as well by the end of this year. Got Fiber? My install date is November 2nd in Falls Church, VA (near DC). Several people in Keller, Texas have posted pictures and reported 14,679 kbps download and 1,794 kbps download speeds.' Update: 10/26 23:52 GMT by T: That second 'download' ought probably read 'upload.'"

So erm, sure, this will be in Puerto Rico like 10 years later. Or something.
