Dedicated bandwidth to each house with Verizon FIOS. NO SHARING!!! NO THROTTLING!!! with FIOS.

 I was downloading a 7GB game file from Electronic Arts download manager with the Comcast 16/2 plan which I should have been getting about 1.5 to 2MB a sec, but with the throttling I was only getting about 700k a sec.  I called Comcast tech support and they confirmed they throttle ALL large downloads. This is what I was told direct from their tech support so even though I was paying for 16/2 I was only going to get about 6mbps download speeds. RIPOFF!!! Moved to Verizon FIOS 20/5 plan for the same monthly cost and I now get 2.4MB a sec always from EA server with NO throttling. Rock on Verizon. I hope FIOS burns Comcast into the ground! Comcast advertised speeds is a bold face lie as far as I am concerned!
