Fios kicks some serious butt, 20-40 megs.
i've had it for a couple years. if you travel at all it's great. the speed depends on where you are, whether you are in a broadband area, which they are expanding, or not. when not in a broadband, it's twice as fast as dial up, which is not good.
in a broadband area now, just ran a couple tests using the following link, and 661kb download and 111k upload is pretty representative.

there are some deadspots. for example when i take the train from DC to NY, it's a little spotty at times. AT&T has a similar/card and service, that's cheaper, but the coverage isn't as good. not sure about their speeds either.

I've had it for a few years as well. Speed is solid in broadband areas and a hair better than dialup in the outer regions
One interesting issue as I note you are a moderator. Many people using the VZ cards come across ET with similar IP addresses, which leads senior people here to think that some folks may have multiple IDs. I offered to mod some forums a while back and ran into that.
