    Update: 08/30/09

    This review is for the FiOptics ZoomTown service, not ADSL ZoomTown. Cincinnati Bell provides their new broadband service over two different platforms depending on where you live -- FTTH or VDSL2. Both are able to acheive the same speeds that they offer. This internet connection is BLAZING! The latency is great, and the upload is amazing! This service blows TWC's DOCSIS 2 Road Runner away!

    Original Review of ADSL Service:

    I mainly got ZoomTown to compare it to Road Runner. While I found ZoomTown to be pretty reliable and decent for DSL, I didn't really find any advantages to using ZoomTown over Road Runner.

    The regular price is $44.95/month. Since I was only getting about 1800/384, I can't say it's a great deal. If you're closer to the CO so you can obtain full speeds, it's not a bad deal, but some other DSL providers are lower in cost.

    Symmetric?

    The FiOptics website lists 10/2, 20/5 and 30/10 tiers. So the actual service is 10/10, 20/20 and 30/30? Nice...

    Re: Symmetric?

    I should note that it depends on where you live. All of the advertising suggests that it's asymmetrical as you stated; however, Cincinnati Bell operates two platforms. If you are in an area on a Motorola platform you will get 10/2, 20/5, or 30/10. If you're on the Alcatel/Cisco platform you'll get 10/10, 20/20, 30/30. As a customer, you have no control over this - it just depends where you live. You can tell by looking at the cover of your ONT and what brand it is.

    Obviously this may not be forever, but it is indeed how it is as of now.
