Anyone have this avalible in there area or in use atm. Reason for being is that verizon just announced that its installing the 15mb service in my area and im soo damn pumped for it!!!!
 
AFAIK they are laying some fiber cables around my area, but I already have 10Mbps for $45 so I don't think it's worth the hassle to switch after all I doubt I'll ever notice the difference.

As previously reported, the nation's largest cable and broadband provider's current download speed of up to 3mbps (megabits per second) will jump to 4mbps. Upload rates of 256kbps (kilobits per second) will reach 384kbps, the company said. Customers of Comcast's more expensive 4mbps service will see a 50 percent increase to 6mbps downstream and 768kbps upstream.

So it's going up to 4/384 and 6/768.
