| No caps increase though... When I checked the TOS/AUP for Rhode Island which showed Ultimate as a 100Mb tier (110Mb with boost), the Ultimate cap is still 400GB. In my market, Orange County caps don't appear to be enforced. I blow through my monthly caps routinely and hopefully it will stay that way.
What is Verizon's current price for 150Mb FiOS? If it is more than a hundskie, I wonder if they'll drop the price, or bump their tier in response. | |

Glen Head, NY | Preferred Wow, I remember the days when Optimum Online was the gold standard of Internet service. I am now paying $54.95 a month for 15/2 service (well the download is basically 20 but not advertised as such) and Cox is now offering 25/5 for $56?!?! At least we do not have usage caps (yet) and the Optimum WiFi service has good penetration.
It would be nice if OOL at least tried to keep their leadership position.

| Breaking point I wonder where the breaking point of all the access to bandwidth is?
With all the increases and very little transport upgrades between cities and towns built.
I know all the costs to access fiber optics are going down but somewhere somehow
there has to be a realization more cross country lines will be needed.
The consumer will eventually have to pay more to have the bandwidth so operators
can bury new fiber.
Internet service providers cannot keep giving away low cost access for ever. | |

| Re: Breaking point they can and will keep providing access at a reasonable cost.. the average customer isn't gonna spend more that 150 on cable/internet combined.. and for the bandwidth issue they dont have to bury new fiber just gotta upgrade the equipment on each end of it.. that's the great part about fiber u dont have to replace it. | |
|
| | | Huh? Low cost?
You realize that there is a TON of unused fiber in the ground that was put there over a decade by companies such as WilTel ( who now do not exist but their assets were sold to others). There's no need for more cross country lines, there's a need for much more last mile fiber lines. | |

Huh? with a lot of providers already using DWDM and also upgrading to 100Gb Ethernet there isn't exactly a shortage of capacity with the existing fiber they're already using. | |
|
| | Google fiber the reason? Huge speed upgrades, 3X downstream, 10X upstream for ultimate...in phoenix the only competition is Qwest which is crappy DSL and nowhere near these speeds. I think it really shows the influence of google fiber. Just like when email accounts has 10 megs of storage then gmail came along with 1 gig of storage everyone else had to match. Even though google fiber isn't a direct competitor most markets, I think it has somehow made other providers 15mb (or whatever) download speeds some puny compared with 1gbps google offers and feel they have to catch up, at least a little. I don't see why else this could be. It's not like QWEST is providing any incentive | |

| | | | Re: Google fiber the reason? Actually, CenturyLink is upgrading. At least here in NJ. They are rolling out Bonded DSL. 25 megs down, 2 megs up. While that's not 150/20, it's certainly much faster than 3-10 megs down, less than a meg up.

| Re: You are lucky I know a coworker who only has dial-up available as a wired ISP service, yet AT&T has underground fiber-optic cables within 100 meters of an exterior wall of his house. He uses Millenicom's resale of Verizon Wireless service, but has only 20GB per month available. No streaming music or video, very little video use from things like YouTube, and having to deal with environmental affected service disruptions.
It seems many residents of the USA will be stuck with no wired service, or in your case bad wired service, until we get some kind of crisis that causes the politicians to act to create better service choices. | |

| Re: You are lucky As long as corporations have sock puppets in places of authority nothing will change. It especially will not change as long as they live in a protected environment.
There are communities in America with tiny populations that have no television, no cable, and will soon have no phone. The travesty is this little city is 20 miles from a state capital served by AT&T. It was not big enough to bother with - a runt pup to be starved to death - and they didn't. The senior at home will have no phone. .
AT&T is determined to drop POTS and everything else even remotely inconvenient. Wanna try a VoIP phone get VioPo. It works. Friend in Dallas refuses to pay for half-a** expensive telco or cable phone, Vonage, MagicJack. . He's had this for almost 4 years now and loves it. It takes a minimum on 1MB uplink before it will work properly. Better to pay $9 for a phone that is half-a** like mine than $40 like I do know.

then, if they don't raise the cap for increase the speed, I still getting around 500GB/cap a month over dual premier tiers that would not be issue for me. | |
