I'll take two, hardwired into both my head and penis. (Sine we'll never get FIOS where I'm at)

Cablevision Systems Corp. on Tuesday unveiled the fastest Internet speeds available from any cable or phone company.
Starting May 11, the Bethpage, N.Y.-based cable operator will offer speeds of up to 101 megabits per second downstream throughout its service area, and 15 megabits per second upstream.
That means a 4-gigabyte, high-definition movie can be downloaded in 5 1/2 minutes. It would take two minutes for a 1.6-gigabyte standard definition movie.
Cablevision, which has 3 million subscribers in the New York metro area, also plans to double the downstream speed of the Wi-Fi Internet service it offers at "hot spots" in New York's Long Island, Connecticut and Westchester County, and in parts of New Jersey.
Cablevision is in a race against Verizon Communications Inc., which is rolling out its fiber-optic FiOS service in New York City.
At present, Verizon's top Internet speed is 50 megabits per second with a starting cost of $140 a month plus a free wireless router. Cablevision is offering its service at $99.95 a month.
The second-fastest Internet speed offered by a cable operator is up to 60 megabits from Charter Communications Inc., available only in the St. Louis area. Charter, based in St. Louis, is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
Philadelphia-based Comcast Corp. offers speeds of up to 50 megabits per second.

Fuck this at 100 bucks a month though. I hope this at least means an increase in their regular speeds.

I live two towns away from them. Definitely gonna take a look at them in the future. I have them now but am unsure of my up/down speed.

When I saw a thread with Cablevision in the title, I was expecting something awful that would make me want to move off Long Island.

I'm almost disappointed that this is good news.

At least you're getting killer speeds for $100. Time Warner still wants to charge up to $150/month for 15 down/1 up speeds in the Rochester market.

Anybody who is this elated about internet speeds needs to go outside more.

I have FIOS, it's as fast as I'll ever need the interweb to be.

I'm sure some douchebag said that about 56kbps too.

[Othello Harrington]

Hmmmm, doubt it.

Did you just ignore the part where I said there was no FIOS in my area?
