Man!! I both _hate_ and _envy_ you at the same time. Although, 13 to 20 and 3 to 5.5 doesn't seem like it'd be THAT different. Isn't that just fussing over milliseconds now? It's not anything as radical as my jump from 28.8kbps to a 10Base-T in my freshman dorm.

You're right in that the jump from 13 to 20 and 3 to 5.5 isn't that different when you're just browsing the web. However, if you're doing any kind of network intensive stuff like downloading large files off of MSDN, game demos on the XBox 360, uploading photos to the web or a blog, remote desktop, etc. then the speed starts being noticeable. I don't think I would have switched if the price was the same or higher, but the fact that it was cheaper and faster pushed me over the edge. :)

My city just gave the approval for FiOS TV. I can't wait for that switch to be turned on, so I can finally completely drop comcast. My Internet needs aren't that great, so I'm still on the 5/2 FiOS plan that was initially offered a year+ ago.
