Good news! Installed (not without some effort and problem-solving).

Fios North Bethesda (aka South Rockville). Hmmm. Did they put a 28.8 modem in there?

I got 3K up when I first tested it on a Windows Vista box (almost nothing on it but all the junk that HP installed - which is A LOT). The FiOS guy tested a different site with his Panasonic ToughBook and got 26K down and 20K up, and he suggested I try it on my Mac. The 25+/13+ test result shown above is on my 2.4 GHz MacBook Pro.

Unhappy FiOS giveth then taketh away

I went online last night and did my once a month check to see it's available-I was so happy when the screen responded with a yes to the triple play bundle. It was 12:30am so i planned on enrolling in the morning.

Went back to enroll this morning and it now says FiOS is not available.
