Cool, I think I will go with the Optimum. $30 a month is pretty darn attractive, and I can still give the Boost package a shot if the normal is too slow or inconsistent for me, while still being cheaper and no ETF like fios. The various reviews I have seen about the Optimum internet service mainly complain about inconsistent speeds, mainly during prime time. This is almost certainly an issue of node saturation, so I have some worries about this in Hoboken, considering the population density, but I guess there is no real reason not to try it. I have used fios both where I live now, getting 26/21 on the basic package, and in Boston where I got more like 8/3.
