Wired up here on Webster sq/Tatnuck area.

1gig $89.99/month.

Speeds as expected in a general range of 400Mbps-1gig with spikes to 2.4 (when not running through my work docking station which caps at about 100 Mbps download/120 upload).

Generally, FiOS upload speed has been as fast, if not faster than download.

Called Charter to cancel, counter offer was 500Mbps download for $45 for a year. But considering I wasn't unhappy with their download but abysmal upload speeds (I dropped to constant 2Kbps upload speeds during working hours and FiOS price is locked in for 10 years… charter has been raising prices what feels like every year - last bill was $78. Just for internet) I said no thanks.

Just letting you know, there are loads of discounts you may be applicable for that you can apply even retroactively. For example, the First Responder Discount (police, EMT/EMS, nurse, teacher, veteran, active military, firefighter,) gets you $15 off if anyone in your house is one. Higher education discount is $10. And if you qualify for the Affordable Connectivity Program (essentially any government assistance, including Medicaid or Masshealth, you can get up to $60 off the gig package. If you have a VZ phone line, that’s a $25 discount too. Some stack, some do not.
