The 50/20 plan is already available in my area, but its something like $140/month, and I really can't see why anyone would want to pay MORE than that, unless they were hosting some websites out of their house.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sn1per]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 7th 2008 11:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon ramps up for 100Mbps FiOS internet in 2009]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/07/verizon-ramps-up-for-100mbps-fios-internet-in-2009/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/07/verizon-ramps-up-for-100mbps-fios-internet-in-2009/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's Fios.This is Big.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kerwin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 7th 2008 4:32PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon ramps up for 100Mbps FiOS internet in 2009]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/07/verizon-ramps-up-for-100mbps-fios-internet-in-2009/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/07/verizon-ramps-up-for-100mbps-fios-internet-in-2009/</guid><description><![CDATA[Amazing.

Think about it.  15 years ago, the internet was basically non-existent.  10 years ago, 56k dial up ruled the world, with relatively few people owning broadband connections.  5 years ago, Broadband hits mainstream.  Speeds of about 1.5 mbps dl were common.  Nowadays, average is 4.9 mbps, with 100 mbps availability just around the corner.<br><br>10 years from now, I foresee 30 mbps being AVERAGE, with 1 gbps available to the hardcore internet addict willing to pay 600 bucks a month.  <br><br>It may seem hard to believe now, but then again, think back 10 years ago, and nobody woulda thought any speeds like this were possible.  Man I love technology!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 7th 2008 5:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon ramps up for 100Mbps FiOS internet in 2009]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/07/verizon-ramps-up-for-100mbps-fios-internet-in-2009/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/07/verizon-ramps-up-for-100mbps-fios-internet-in-2009/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's about time 100mbps is available from FiOS! Other countries have already started providing 1gbps to the home, and for only around $50 a month.

I just got FiOS TV installed and as part of the deal got my speed bumped up from 10/2 to 20/5.  A 100/20 would be very nice.  However, at what point is speed going to be so much that Verizon starts capping?  Currently, they claim that they have no intention of capping, which is clearly a marketing edge for them.  But I can only imagine the P2P abuse that would take place with 100/?? speeds.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John B]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 7th 2008 11:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon ramps up for 100Mbps FiOS internet in 2009]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/07/verizon-ramps-up-for-100mbps-fios-internet-in-2009/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/07/verizon-ramps-up-for-100mbps-fios-internet-in-2009/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is cool, but I'd much rather see Verizon focus on offering FiOS to more areas rather than continue to sweeten the pot for all the lucky people that already get it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hooterman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 8th 2008 1:04PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon ramps up for 100Mbps FiOS internet in 2009]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/07/verizon-ramps-up-for-100mbps-fios-internet-in-2009/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/07/verizon-ramps-up-for-100mbps-fios-internet-in-2009/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah, but the great thing about FiOS is that when they roll out 100/mbps there's no hardware change, it's all software.
