Verizon FiOS is Finally Available in Charlotte

For anyone who hasn’t heard of the FiOS offering from Verizon, it’s their fiber optic internet connection solution (more information here), and it’s finally available in my neck of the woods.  Any readers of this site use this for their internet connection?  Know anyone who does?  I’m seriously considering the switch, but would love to hear some feedback first.  It’s really a no brainer though as it’s only 5 bucks more a month than what I’m paying now on RoadRunner, and it’s 3x as fast downstream/6x as fast upstream as my current connection. 

The biggest caveat I would face is that I’ve had my current email address for 5+ years, and RR (at least last time I asked them) won’t allow me to just “rent” an email address without also having a full blown RR internet account.  It wouldn’t be a painless change...unless there is some type of service out there that I don’t know about that would facilitate an easier address switch. 

Regardless, any feedback is welcome.

Congratulations! Now you can "download pron off the internet one million times faster" [Simpsons] :-) I started looking at FiOS online after reading your query and I ran into these links. Hope it helps. http://www.macit.org/2005/12/verizon_fios_in_1.html http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11150893~mode=flat http://gigaom.com/2005/08/07/verizon-fios-problems-anyone/

Thanks for the links, though the last one has me a little worried. They are offering the first month free, so I'll probably give it a shot regardless. Thanks!

I just checked with Verizon and they said they don't provide any service in Charlotte.  Anyone find out differently, or if there is a good high speed alternative to Time Warner Cable or Alltel DSL?

I know this was posted a while ago, but I'm in Charlotte and can't find any mention of FiOS coverage in Charlotte on the Verizon website.
