I work in Newark, Delaware and my employer has business FiOS at the
office.   SpeedTest.net says that we get 20.60/19.39, but there could be
quite a few things dragging that down, such as the speedtest servers not
being fast enough (I had to try several to get that speed) or our router
not being up to snuff (cheap linksys bought when the more expensive
business grade appliance failed).
