Ars Technica reports that the FCC has studied internet service provider speeds and, no surprise to me, found Verizon FiOS to be the best in America. Not only does it have the fastest throughput, the speed is consistent throughout the day.
Speaking of FiOS, a few weeks ago I talked about trouble with the battery that keeps the FiOS landline phone working during a power failure. We lost power for a few hours this past Sunday, due to “animal contact with equipment” according to the power company, and the battery was OK during the entire outage.
