I have it and LOVE it. 25mbps down, 25mbps up. NFL Network, great online management, remote DVR (from my phone!) Can't complain. I do wish they had the DIY channel in HD, but that's about it.

Faster than 97% of you bitches!! w00t!

I work from home, and use a VOIP phone, so my internet access is very important.

Do it Yourself. Home repairs and such. They have it in SD, but not HD. I'm an HD snob, I find it hard to watch non-HD shit.

One thing Brighthouse (Time Warner/Road Runner for you non-Florida folks) has that Verizon doesn't is the restart feature, where you can restart some programs - but overall, I think Verizon is a much better carrier and deal overall.

Very rare for the internet to falter. MAYBE 1-2 times in the last year.

I have never had a choppy TV signal....
