FiOS Service Flies With Verizon

Back on October 23rd, Verizon introduced a new, symmetrical Verizon FiOS Internet service for consumers, featuring an upload and download speed of up to 20 Mbps. FiOS (Fiber Optic Service) is a Fiber To The Premises (FTTP) telecom service with Verizon being the first, major US carrier to offer broadband Internet access using this technology. The service was first available to customers in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Now Verizon is launching similar symmetrical FiOS services in the 13 other states served by its fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) network.



In Florida, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, Verizon now offers the option of a FiOS Internet service with downstream and upstream connections of up to 20 Mbps. In California, Delaware, Indiana, Maryland, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Texas, Virginia and Washington, the company has added a new FiOS Internet service with downstream and upstream connections of up to 15 Mbps. As consumers with ever-growing collections of photos, music, video and other data want to quickly and easily store and protect their files, the symmetrical FiOS services include a comprehensive Internet security suite plus one GB (gigabyte) of network-based backup, both at no additional charge. Customers who subscribe to the new Internet service can upgrade their backup to as much as 50 GB at competitive rates. Simutaneously, Verizon has increased the upload speed of its fastest FiOS Internet services and can offer consumers downstream/upstream connections of either up to 50 Mbps/20 Mbps or up to 30 Mbps/15 Mbps, depending upon the state where the service is sold.
