Frontier FIOS is now offering 500/500 internet for $40/mo. I'm thinking about switching, which will allow me to unlock 1080p for Plex remote users.

New customers only?

Yeah, with the old CPU, the highest I saw was like 12 or something. At I'm assuming that was an abysmal experience for everyone at that time.

I'd like a larger internal HD for my laptop for storage. 2.5" SATA spinning disk. Currently have a 1TB in there that's 7mm thick. Anyone know where I can find a larger one? I can find a 2TB, but if I'm doing this I'd prefer to go with a little larger.
