Virginia Beach, VA | Other Speeds Bumped Up As Well
You missed the information where they will also be bumping all markets up to the same markets.
VA and others will be bumped from 5/2 to 10/2 and 15/2 to 20/5. |

sweeeeeeeeeeet
I knew getting 5/2 would pay off. Though I`ve been happy with the speeds, the 10/2 is warmly welcomed.
Now, I just wonder how long the rollout will take.. heh..
limits? caps you mean? I would think they would cap upload first, I havent seen anything with mine maxed for almost a month now. I`ll have to get into the logs to see how many gigs, but at 220k, that can add up.

| Very nice...
Broadband the way it's intended.
My only critique would be why such a price difference between the markets?
89/mo. to 139.00 seems a bit unfair to those outside the 89/mo. markets.
The 65/mo. 20/20 tier is a nice deal however and they're definitely firing some warning shots over the cable co's bow.
If the cable co's needed any wake up call to spur on their docsis 3.0 rollouts..this is it. While still only available in a part of their territory..Verizon really has the right idea here with fios and the competition is going to be fierce.
And, to Verizon and their Execs..I'd like to extend a warm welcome for you to cross those NY and Mass. lines and come rolling right on into the great state of Ct.
This state really needs a telco with vision.

Verizon's lowest FIOS tier is now faster (10/2) than AT&T's highest U-Verse tier (10/1.5). |

Re: Other Speeds Bumped Up As Well
Caps on fios? lol..Not anytime soon..there's people on fios that hit 1TB in a month, and not a peep from Verizon.
I wonder what this will do for cable in those markets..Comcast fastest tier is 16/2 ..the 50/5 is still a joke and is STILL limited to Comcast "reasonable network management" as they call it..
Verizon has this in the palm of their hands. |

| bundle pricing or solo
$140 for Internet only? Do I get some tv or phone usage from that? I pay $45 monthly (for 5mbps/768kbps) and think that is too much. Other than being able to run my own neighborhood hotspot to subsidize costs, how can I take advantage of that kind of bandwidth? |

| Verizon who?
Any kind of residential services from Verizon is a figment of my imagination. I have no clue where Verizon's footprint begins around the Chicagoland area. Does anyone know?... Anyone?...Anyone?... Bueller?...Bueller?   |

| Comcast reaction?!
Hopefully we'll see a reaction from Comcast. Maybe bump up the upload speed a bit on the Blast tier.
I believe that Blast (16/2) is in the same price range as FIOS 15/2 which now became 20/5. It would be nice if Comcast tries to narrow down the gap a bit on the upload front. |

I knew it to that why after my contract was up I switched to 5/2 from 15/2. Now I will be going back to 10/2. |

comcast is talking about caps and throttling; other than being able to advertise faster speeds, the only benefit to customers silly enough to pay more money will be the ability to hit the cap faster. And when they throttle, you wouldn't get the faster speeds anyway. if you are in no danger of hitting the cap, you probably don't need faster speeds anyway. |

Verizon has a long way to making into Chicago. All the cities you mentioned are like 90 minute drives for me on the North Side. Rockford is like 2 hours away. |
