Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 2811698, member: 1329"] Not really unfortunately. You can get Verizon DSL, but not FIOS and not above 15 mbps download (and usually more like 7) in many sections of Boston. I posted the map up thread (which is only accurate as of December 2016, but I just checked the last 3 apartments I lived in around various parts of Boston and none have access to FIOS), check it out. I'm in the suburbs now and do have (and use) gigabit FIOS. As I mentioned, Verizon is not available in many places above 15mbps DSL advertised. You can get 7 mbps for $40 (internet only). That's 1/3 the download speed of the USA fixed broadband average of 75 and obviously 150x slower than gigabit fiber. In a major city. In the USA. In 2018. On the broadband map, by default that is filtered out. Let's just say that that level of service is not causing prices to drop due to competition. [/QUOTE]
