Supercharged 50 Mbps FiOS Internet Service Offers Fastest Connections Nationwide Download speeds powerful enough to stream movies or link everyone in an office to the Internet are now available to FiOS Internet customers in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
Verizon Telecom customers can get the fastest Internet connection speeds in the country - up to 50 megabits per second (Mbps) downstream and 10 Mbps upstream.
"This new speed increase sets a performance benchmark upon which all competitors will be measured," said Chris Pizzirani, Verizon Telecom vice president of broadband management and development.
"This allows our customers - consumers and businesses - to download full-screen streaming movies and enormous business files like medical images and computer-aided designs. They can play networked games in real time, share broadband service among multiple users, and send and receive e-mails with the speed and spontaneity of instant messages," said Pizzirani.
The high-end 10 Mbps upload speed is unprecedented. For businesses, this speed will help improve the flow of information among multiple users and facilitate streaming video for product demonstrations or training sessions. The increase in speed also makes it easier for businesses to upload Web content.
In the three states, the fastest FiOS Internet service available previously offered speeds up to 30 Mbps downstream and 5 Mbps upstream.
For Consumers, Paramount Service and Speeds
In New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, Verizon Telecom now offers consumers three tiers of Verizon FiOS Internet Service:
10 Mbps downstream and 2 Mbps upstream (increased from 5/2 in May). Suited for Internet surfing and basic computer functions. $34.95 a month with a one-year agreement, or $39.95 month-to-month.
20 Mbps downstream and 5 Mbps upstream (increased from 15/2 in May). Appealing for families that have multiple computers and various needs such as multi-media and the ability to access and send large files. $44.95 a month with a one-year agreement or $49.95 month-to-month.
50 Mbps downstream and 5 Mbps upstream (increased from 30/5). Designed for communications-intensive power users with significant bandwidth needs and multiple users, such as telecommuters or work-at-home households and avid online gamers. In New York, customers can get this speed at $89.95 a month with a one-year agreement, or $109.95 month-to-month. Current New York customers have the option to keep their 30/5 Mbps service, but can call their local Verizon Telecom office to upgrade. In New Jersey and Connecticut, customers can get this speed at $139.95 a month with a one-year agreement, or $159.95 month-to-month. Current customers in New Jersey and Connecticut with the 30/5 Mbps service will automatically be upgraded in the near future to the 50/5 Mbps service at no extra charge. Initially, the 50/5 Mbps service will be available on a limited basis.
Small Businesses Can Get Big-Biz Speeds
FiOS Internet service for small businesses is available as part of a bundle of local and long-distance calling services from Verizon Telecom, or as a stand-alone Internet access service. Small-business customers can receive free professional installation for their primary computer, plus a 10 to 20 percent discount off of their standard monthly rate with a qualifying local-calling service package, if the one-bill option is selected.
Small-business owners can choose from new increased speeds, at no increase in standard monthly price, with either a dynamic Internet protocol (IP) address or static IP address.
