 Verizon FiOS still smokes the competition.

said by the corrected report :
Verizon's FiOS connection easily surpassed even the fastest cable and DSL speeds.

FiOS doesn't win in many states... The report:

• has FiOS as the fastest ISP in states that don't have FiOS.

•compares the fastest FiOS speed tier (the one that most early adopters are getting) with blended speed tiers from the massive customer base of cable and DSL. This data is all bogus.

•In one state Verizon DSL beats Verizon FiOS...

As far as speed goes, it doesn't matter which tier of the other services you compare FIOS to, it will always come out the fastest. (for home use) So I don't know as though that matters to the end result, though I agree the inconsistency taints their entire article

FIOS as the fastest in states that don't have FIOS? My guess would be SOME places do, even if it's just a VZ Test site. And they just took the FCC accounting of broadband to the state level, rather than zip code.

I haven't read the article, but based on my client's experiences getting FIOS installed, I would guess that is the reason their DSL beat them somewhere. Not on speed, but on customer frustration level.

It was a state-by-state report. In Maryland, Verizon FiOS is the fastest (of course)!
