Verizon Introduces "Super Fast" 20/20 FiOs Internet Service... Grown Men Cry

Verizon announced today that they will soon be offering 20/20 FiOs service to the states of New York, New Jersey and Conneticut. Now, I must insist you sit down for this next part... okay prepare yourself. 20/20 means simultaneous 20 Mbps uploads and downloads. That means you could download a DVD in it's entirety with no quality loss in about a half hour! Holy snot that's freaking insane!

But the cost is going to also be insane, you say? Nope. Verizon has been quoted as saying the price will be as low as $65 a month. At the rate Verizon is going with increasing the bandwidth and potential speeds, we may finally be up to speed with the rest of the world. For example, the average internet user in Japan averages around 60 Mbps.

Like I said, while this news is awesome for the lucky fools who live in New York, New Jersey, and Conneticut, the rest of us are left in the dark as to when it'll come to the rest of us. Let the tears fall, it's okay.

The Daily Fix

It's time for your daily fix of crazy videos on the internet. Today's video is a snipet from a French Beatbox competition. The fellow you see on the stage goes by the name of ROXORLOOPS. He's quite literally world famous for his skills in beatboxing, and I think you'll see why.

This clip here is only about 2 minutes long. If you want to see the rest, scroll down below the video and click on the two links down there to see his whole skit. Seriously, your mind will be blown. But I must warn you, in the second video he drops an F-bomb here and there, so be warned. Obviously, I don't promote that kind of disgusting language, but the song he uses it in... the sounds he's making with his mouth are insane! Enjoy!
