20MPS symmetric service now available in the Northeastern US
For a lucky few in the northeast, Verizon is making symmetric (same speed on both downloads and uploads) 20MBPS FIOS service available. I could not find any specifics on price, but I suppose that if you have to ask how much, you’ll not be happy with the answer.
The “symmetrical speed” service, available initially in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut before a wider launch, will enable users to access the Internet at an upstream and downstream speed of 20 megabits per second, Verizon said. (from Reuters)

Now we are getting interesting! 5 years ago, most datacenters would have loved this kind of arrangement. Drop two connections into the center and be happy as a clam. Most of the SMB market would consider this overkill, but buy it anyway. It’s probably cheaper than the biz cable or fracT they got today.
