Fiber Optic Internet

Done!

I had Verizon's FiOS (Fiber Optic) internet installed. I had their DSL, which was $29.95/mo since I am am a ''bundled'' Verizon customer. The cost for FiOS is the same price (34.95 for the common man). DSL can now be had for $14.95 month (bargain of the year). No charge for installation, btw, and the wireless router was free. Mother Superior just told me her networked computer is "blazing fast."
