Yeah Wiki isn't exactly a very reliable source.

I have yet to see where they were wrong. Maybe I don't visit the site enough or something.
But still, I asked for some sort of link proving that they are not always accurate, and no one has provided it.

You live in PA...I live in NM...you don't know what boonies are until you lived in a place that literally has no towns around it for an hour in any direction.

We have Amish. They don't have electricity (except for Dmek)

Unless your apartment building was wired for it, FIOS won't be available in most apartments. Luckily they took care of the condo I'm renting a while back. The speed in apartments are slightly decreased since they run cat 5 instead of fiber from the wiring closet to your house.


Yea it was a mess while they were doing the wiring for my complex here (I work in the office) all sorts of issues/ horror stories. What i thought was retarded was that they got the contract to run the fiber and drop all new lines, but then decided to piggyback on the existing coax (from 1986) So if you use a hardline to your router instead of going wireless it seriously mutilates your speed

Anyone can edit it, that's the problem.

Thanks for the links guys. I will definitely look at wikipedia in a different light now. No wonder you guys didn't take it as 100% legit. While I am sure the majority is correct, you never know what is incorrect.

That doesn't seem very intelligent on wikipedia's part.

That's the whole point of it.

Wikipedia is an online free-content encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Wales) has described Wikipedia as "an effort to create and distribute a multilingual free encyclopedia of the highest quality to every single person on the planet in his or her own language." Wikipedia exists to bring knowledge to everyone who seeks it.
