My pings are a steady 4ms. Eight hops is reasonable to the headend.

Yes Fios is not everywhere but anyone I know who had gotten it is impressed. I have 75Mbs x 75Mbs and I am happy. They go up to 300Mbs.

You can click on the speed test map and try different servers. I had an issue with one of my VOIP providers being on a route that passed through some Time Warner nodes. Time Warner actually put a Bogon filter to block the adjacent Verizon router.

Your phone is fast and makes sense as a backup. Is there a data usage cap?

I think there is a data usage cap on my Comcast service but I've never been warned. I doubt that I actually use THAT much data. We watch a movie or two per week, stream relatively low bandwidth audio from Spotify, and my HUGE downloads are not that often.

I would probably hit a data limit if 4G/LTE were my primary service.

  I would not think there was a cap on your cable.
  
  I was talking about the cellular service. Some say unlimited, but I think they will charge or throttle down at some point.

    I recall reading about a data cap on our cable internet a while ago but the limit was so high that no normal person would reach it. I believe it was intended to limit the few individuals out there who are consistent data hogs for whatever reason.
    
    I don't have a cap 'that I am aware of' on my Verizon cellular service since it is billed directly to my company and I never see the invoice but I believe if I sucked down a lot of data it would be flagged I would be made aware of it.
    
    My wife doesn't benefit from a big data plan, or unlimited plan, and hers tops out at 1GB/mo which she never hits. The limits will vary depending on the carrier and plan.

      Same here... Kids use tons of data though!!! The cell phone is another appendage permanently attached to the hand...
