Not sure on the price, but 20/20 is now available in the NY Metro area.

Bandwidth is cheap in NY. I would be surprised if this plan is available anywhere outside of NY and NJ (at anything close to that price).

Re: Verizon to offer 20meg symetrical FiOS

No kidding. $65/mo for 20/20 sounds way too good to be true. That'd be awesome for me since I telecommute to work. But I doubt Delaware will ever see the 20/5 profile, let alone the 20/20 profile. Atlantic broadband only offers 16/1, so Verizon has no need to upgrade this area.

20/5 if offered in NY not 20/20.

I punched my parents number into the qualification page and it comes up as 20/5.

Where did he "hear" this from

I have been assisting with the testing of the speed tier, and it became available on 10/9. It might not show up in online ordering for a while, but you can order it in the NYC area.

They're offering 20/20 speeds in the NY metro area? THere are so many places in NJ that can't get FIOS anything--TV or Internet. Not saying I'd want their TV, but can't fios internet at all in most places is odd.

Isn't the 35/10 tier the "Mass Market Package" with five static ip's?

Mine is not static IP but I can get it for a bit more than I am paying now. I want to know how much the 20/20 is.

Re: Verizon to offer 20meg symetrical FiOS

A bit more? Verizon only does static on business, don't they? The price difference between 15/2 residential and business (at lease here in Delaware) is huge. Like double (or more) the price.

I pay $184 a month with Dynamic IP and Static IP's is about $225 I think they told me.

Ahh ok. The higher the rate plan, the less of a percentage the dynamic -> static cost is I suppose.

If it's true then it's a smart move.. It's about time ISPs start offering symmetrical speeds... They should provide 5/5, 20/20 and 50/50.

Wow, it's exciting! Where on the Verizon web page does it say that it offers 20/20 internet to its NY customers? Does it also offer the 50/50 internet?

I would gladly pay a $10-20 more for 20/20. Unfortunately we still don't even have 20mbps down yet. We're still at 15/2 in Maryland.

This is a smart play for verizon, cable can't touch that kind of upload.
Any word on price?

Verizon blocks port 80 on residential accounts, doesn't it? I guess you could run a web site on a different port, though. Probably still a violation of the TOS.

I think that's what the "Business" connection is for. No server restrictions.

@verizon.net
How much will this come out to with the double play in NYC with the phone and internet. Right now I have the 20/5 and fios phone which costs $78 with taxes.

@verizon.com
20/20 is not available online yet. If you call the office, you can get 20/20 now.

Well, I called the order line using my parents number in NYC and the sales person told me that they have never heard of a 20/20 package.

Unless he never got the memo from management.

Are there bandwidth caps on fios? with 20mbps upload one could blow that pretty fast.

You can kill a cap with that because I have uploaded more than 50 gigs in 1 day and I have the 35/10 so you can do over 100 gigs a day if its at full speed with the 20/20.

I can't wait till monday !!
