"Based on feedback they get from their customers"
bullshit. The majority of the customers are power users and i'm sure the feedback they provide is wanting more symettrical. Verizon has selective hearing. |

Czwartacki later stated (off the record) that the real reason they hadn't made a firm decision on symmetrical FiOS was due to the fact that no one within their corporate headquarters understood an effective pricing model. "Its quite frustrating" Czwartacki admitted, adding "We haven't been able to find anyone within our ranks that fully comprehends the difference between $0.20 and .20 cents. We have a team of consultants working on it now, and we should very soon be able to test various pricing models. After that, we can have those same consultants determine the true defintion of 'unlimited". |

Chances are, the fees would be high enough that they'd not need to worry about capping. Besides, Verizon hasn't been terribly big on capping any of their existing or prior (terrestrial) services.

I would assume there would be a residential Symmetrical service, and a Business class one. Different nodes, uptime guarantee's all that. |

Re: verizon just hears what they want to hear.
Of course you know that since you have access to all of their customer records and comments. This is just more nerd talk/bashing because you can't see why people would use the internet differently than you do.
Most people don't care about symetrical speeds regardless of who their provider is. You think the average soccer mom or dad makes their decision based on that? If they did more people would leave their current provider for FIOS because the upload is faster than what you can get for most other providers.
Some of you are to "geeked" out and are out of touch with the mainstream. My girlfriend noticed the difference in the upload speed that we from DSL and was excited about it because like MOST people, she's no techo-nerd. Most of the time we're surfing or downloading other things while uploading. This isn't as big of an issue as BBR or the users here make it out to be. |

That would be the majority of customers here on BBR, which is a small minority in the grand scheme of Verizon's (and other ISP's) customer portfolio. Why can't BBR readers ever seem to grasp this relatively simple concept? |

Re: verizon just hears what they want to hear.
yep. I was shocked to find several friends that got Fios and they had no idea the bandwidth they could have. They just liked the bundle of Phone, TV and Internet. 
Meanwhile, I'm pressing to get my 15/2 upped to 30/5...for same rate.
I need bandwidth (foaming at mouth)!!! Gimmeee!!  |

Yes, but where is the Question and Answer session that BBR members are REALLY interested in?
You know, the one that drills them on why they gave their CEO 20 Million instead of a $90 per year raise to their employees. |

Why would any business pay thousands a month for oc-X service when MULTIPLE Fios lines could provide similar bandwidth at a fraction of the cost. |

Re: verizon just hears what they want to hear.
with FIOS offer at least 1mb up (i think) which is the most charter offers on their best service I would be fine with that! I thought their cheapest option was 5mb/2mb. or 10mb/2mb. I work from home at times, upload videos/pics for family events, expiriment with other techs, run my security system and phone over IP, and would consider myself a power user. |
