What is the SLA for FIOS? I believe that FIOS uses either PON or GPON
technology where a single data wavelength is split up to 32 times resulting
in a shared pipe back to the CO. Does Verizon offer any SLA at all for FIOS?
On the other hand Verizon Wireless offers BGP peering for business
customers, but lacks geographically-dispersed peering points with their
wired network, which results in unusually high round trip latencies.
