I finally got Verizon FiOS Internet. Finally.
My package is the 15Mbps Download 2Mbps Upload…and I am currently experiencing speeds of up to 2000Kb/s download, 200Kb/s upload.
Whew, it’s amazing.
I’ve been playing Day of Defeat: Source and other various HL mods. Also i’ve been eagerly awaiting Fortress Forever (http://www.fortress-forever.com/). Also, i’ve set up my own dedicated server box in my bedroom running FreeBSD 6.1 — Currently running an FTP server. My music collection is also growing fast.
In short: life is good with Fiber.
See if it is available in your area:

Well I finally broke down a few weeks ago and built a new PC. My old one had been randomly shutting down and had tons of errors when booting. I don't blame it as it had been running steady for probably 5 years straight.
Anyway, this new beauty goes like this:
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
1GB DDR400 Corsair RAM
HSI Radeon X1600PRO PCI-E Graphics Card
Western Digital 250GB HDD
NEC DVD-RW
ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 Mobo
Fortron 450W Pwr Sup.
Cooler Master Centurion 5 Case
Been playing HL2 recently. Runs smooth as anything! Lovin' it.
