is FiOS considered other or dedicated?
at work, we only had a fraction of a T1 (128... slow) up until about a month ago. now we have cable. the streaming ban has been lifted. work was where I heeded the 56k warnings, but now... not so much.
home/Fiber optic
I remember the 1200 baud and waiting for the first interwebz to load over NCSA Mosaic. but our LAN was all ARCnet.

I've got TWC Turbo. 15 down and 1 up. I like it, for $29.99 a month. 
*******.. I just got a letter in the mail, its going up to $44.95 a month come Jan 1.
Could be a little quicker if I shut down BitTorrent..

Well after connecting at home. On the "low speed" FIOs connection which is slow as ***** compared to at school (I'll get that tomorrow or tuesday)
home:
Well, then i decided to test my phone. I have a LG Vu through AT&T. mobilespeedtest.com on my phone and it pulled
204.6 kb/s. Um...that means some of you have internet that's nearly just as slow as my phone!!!
