Nick - are you using a wireless router? I'm wireless, which I understand my be contributing to the less than optimal speeds that I'm experiencing - although I do get better results when using my laptop from work (only a few months old) vs my 5+ year old home desktop PC.
With FiOS, Verizon sets up a router in your home and, in most instances, your home PC connects with a wireless card, as does mine. The router is used for internet service, as well as allowing you to access media files on your PC from the multi-media HD DVR - in other words, I can access photos and music on my PC from my HD receiver. Great for slide shows on the HD TV!
