Since I can't get FIOS, I'd gladly pay $77 for 50Mbps down as long as the upstream was at least 5-10 Mbps. But maybe not when the next best competitor (Be Broadband) offers 24Mbps for a third of the price.
Be Broadband is UP TO 24Mb, unless you live in the exchange you will never see that speed, the max would be around 16Mb if you lived next door.
The service Virgin is offering is 50Mb, plain and simple. no UP TO bull crap............its not without restrictions however, you can only download at 50Mb in small amounts/night time.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.
