Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"

We have had FIOS Internet for about 18 months.(Southern CA) Fast as H*** (15d/5u) and for the most part very reliable. We have had some issues around OEM router firmware updates that resulted in repeated wireless outages but they were eventually fixed.
When the service was new, customer assistance was answered by a human on two rings. Now they're in Comcast or AT&T league with voice mail hell and long waits.
We recently had the OEM router buy the farm. Called Verizon and was told "your on your own". "Go to Besy Buy and get a DLINK model XXX". Too bad that model was discontinued a year ago. Three calls later, we are back in gear with no help from them. While he service has declined, we wouldn't think of having anything else. FIOS is crack baby. If you can get it, your crazy not to have it.
