It is still asymmetrical, but is much faster than Comcast for the same
price.  The upload speed is what I want, because I have my own
webserver.  I can currently only upload ~40 KBPS, which is about 1/4
the speed of FIOS basic package and 1/10 that of their premium
package.  If you want to pay a ton of money, 30Mbps down/5Mbps up.
It's $180, but if you live in an apartment complex with a bunch pf
people will to split on the wifi, it ends up being much faster and you
pay about the same...
