50Mbps, 20/20Mbps FiOS Tiers Hit All Markets > Other Speeds Bumped Up As Well

Other Speeds Bumped Up As Well

And when the tiered pricing hits, the limits will be 20 and 50 gig a month.

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.

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.

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.

I've uploaded 2.5TB over the past 2 months and downloaded 500GB during that same time. Not a peep.

50mb/20mb tier for $89/mo

FIOS is the shiznit.

This is incredible. I don't really care about whether Verizon's connection is 50/20 or 10/2. What matters to me is that they have decent customer service and don't play games with invisible caps. If Verizon is ever available in my area, even if the speeds are slower than Comcast, I will be done with Comcast forever.

Yea I absolutely love my connection.

The FIOS archive. I'm currently the 3rd - 5th results. But check out the top one. I want that connection!

To be fair, we can get 35 down/6 up with Comcast Blast! in tests. I also think that Comcast's ping times are better than Verizon's.

Of course, this would be great if Comcast's connection were actually usable, because they'll be disconnecting my service later this month (since we don't know what the cap is). I figure that we should take advantage of the bandwidth while we have it, because I don't want to support Comcast even if the only alternative is dialup.

I sent a scathing letter to Brian Roberts on this subject, and it will be interesting to see if we get a reply.

This is, I actually see 50mb/20mb when I use my connection, at any time of the day or night.

Never had an issue. And yea, the lack of caps is amazing.

p.s.: Who is Brian Roberts?

Well it'll probably go something like this..

I call TWC in NYC to tell them I'm switching over to a FIOS 50/20 plan sometime in November... They offer me their 100mbit plan for cheaper than normal rates.. I accept. The consumer wins.

"Caps on fios? lol..Not anytime soon."

Really, the caps are being put in place by the cable companies due to the bandwidth hogs that bring their networks to a crawl every evening during peak times...

With all the room in their pipe Verizon isn't anywhere close to seeing similar problem and won't be for the foreseeable future.

You received confirmation that Comcast is booting you because of you using downloading more than they think you should? Damn!

I'm on 15/2 currently but with the rise in energy and gas prices, have been thinking of going to 5/2 to trim a little fat from the monthly bills. The upgrade of the 5/2 package to 10/2 seals the deal for me.
