If you are ok with a few hours of outages, no decent SLA (ask Verizon for an SLA), a shared connection where if your neighbors use all the bandwidth (or through DDoS) then you start to have slow connections, Disabled ports, or to shutoff your service if spam or other issue detected.. without trying hard to contact you. Businesses that provide SLA with uptimes, 24/7, and guarantees cannot rely on Cable/DSL or Verizon FiOS. Especially for 30$ - 130$ connections. For Home/Personal.. or a business that does not 'serve/host other businesses' and just uses email and web.. then I suggest FIOS! Also, an idea, I do suggest a 24/7 business have 2 connections to every server they have. 1 will be the tried and true T1 line (or T2) and the other will be the unreliable (at least not 99.999%), but extremely fast, FIOS. When FIOS has its outages, then your server will still be able to communicate through the trusty T1 line. However, this will only work with Name-Based failover/redundancy and not IP addresses (useful for websites, ftp sites, and even Oracle database connections by hostname and not IP address). -Kevin If you want 99.99% or more guaranteed uptime through a SLA (Service Level Agreement) and a guaranteed 1544kb/s Up and 1544kb/s Down 24/7, then a T1,T2, or T3 connection are what you need.
