Years ago when moving into our current house, the first thing I did was get Verizon FIOS, and after going from "Triple Play" (Internet/Phone/TV) to "Double Play" (Internet/TV) to just internet, I was paying $65/month for 50 MB, not a good deal.
The last few years whenever I would call to upgrade, they would tell me my outside Box could only handle speeds up to 100 mb, and it would cost $300 to upgrade it, plus $90/month for 200mb speed, which clearly I wasn't going to do.
So about 6+ months ago, I noticed Verizon FIOS deals for 1GB for $90/month. I made the call and this time they agreed to upgrade my box for free, and if I paid using my credit card automatically each month, it would be $80/month .... SOLD!
The biggest difference for me is when uploading files for work, it is amazing the difference. literally seconds instead of many minutes

I went with gig service as it's the fastest upload speed available for me in my area.
