Cloud Computing with my Mobile Office Technology just got FAST!

I want to take this opportunity to thank Brian who just installed my Verizon FIOS internet service.
As you can see from the picture, FIOS is fast at my new apartment here in Dorchester, MA. Now I'll need to get more stuff to hook up to the WiFi to see if I can slow it down.
Interestingly enough, FIOS requires the installation of this really big box where the utilities come into the house. This box is wired into the electric for battery backup and they also had to run some new fiber from the telephone into the apartment. Pretty neat.
I only started with the internet service since I'm still paying for Comcast at my condo in Atlanta and my phone service is all through Vonage (and Verizon doesn't offer TV in this location just yet.)
As I play more, I'll keep you updated on how FIOS works for me.
