Re: how much for similar fios? said by PGHammer:Why would FIOS offer anything like that? If anything, in FIOS areas, the biz deals would be via VZB (ex-MCI/UUNET) and would revolve around fiber-based T-3 equivalent lines with an SLA (and we would only hear about such a deal *slantways*, as it won't go anywhere near VZC (Verizon Communications, the residential side of VZ)). EDITED: Deleted my first response. I think I misunderstood your point. Business FIOS does ride the same network as Residential FIOS. Traceroutes show that. The only difference seems to be the price, and which 800# we call for support.
In exchange for radically cheaper pricing, we get no SLA. | |

| i was referring strictly to sales/support. As far as the circuits go, there is no difference between a residential line and a business line *except* for the level of service/support (and that's with any company, whether it's Comcast, VZ, Vonage, or even Magic Jack, for that matter).
What busineses pay extra for most residential users don't need (and mostly don't want). | |

What busineses pay extra for most residential users don't need (and mostly don't want). And the irony is, on a 2 year committment Business FIOS is the same price as residential; the sole exception being 50/20 which is $5 more.
Even if I didn't use it for business purposes, I would still have gone the Business FIOS route because (a) residential plans only offer a 1 year committment, and (b) FIOS rates keep going up. This way I can lock in the price for twice as long as residential customers. | |
