kudos:1 | FUD The Cable Internet is "shared" FUD used to work for me. Then I realized even if my cable 1/6th what is should be, its still faster then DSL. |

Assuming you're on CV's Boost package with Optimum Online, (30/5), 1/6th of the download would be 5MB and 1/6th of the upload would be about 768kbps - still significantly slower than Fios's 50/5 in this competitive market. 
On the more serious side, kudos for CV (and for Verizon) on no "per-byte" billing. For me, per-byte billing is an innovation killer.

They can handle the truth. No need to pretend cable is fiber. Cable is good enough or better than DSL for most people, no liespretending required.

When I had boost (Wayne NJ) I got the full 5M up anytime I needed it.
I ran a server too with no problems. |
