Re: Verizon upgrading FIOS tiers Just upgraded to 50/25 tier. Activation suppose to take place Monday. Hoping its sooner, but do I need to reboot either my ONT or wireless router? |

I currently have 35/35 Flex Double with Ultimate HD TV for $114, moving to 50/25 indicates a price bump to $134. Does this sound correct?
Thanks! |

That makes sense. I wonder, would they run another ethernet cable to my second room upstairs? My wireless connection in the 2nd room doesn't get the best signal and running speed tests on that computer is showing slower speeds because of the weak signal. Any suggestions? |

Shouldn't be that big a difference. Check to make sure Digital Voice didn't get added into that 2nd price. |

I checked the upgrade center
My plan is now Prime for TV and the 50/25 for 99.99
114.99 would be Extreme and 50/20
134.99 would be Ultimate and 50/20
I don't have FDV anymore the above is double play pricing |

..so if your CO is BPON, what is the max speed supported?
Is it 50/25? or 75/35?
I'm seeing conflicting info on this. |

kudos:6 | It depends on your ONT. Some models will only support up to the 50/25 package and they don't seem to be offering upgrades if GPON is not in your area. The other BPON ONTs seem to handle 75/35 well.

In my case any move away from my 35/35 plan will cost me. What I thought was interesting is that I can move to 50/25 (I thought it was 20 but the woman insisted it was 25) and downgrade my TV package and it would still cost me 20 bucks more. I guess I'll stay a free agent.
Nice speeds, Mig.

Of course every area has it's own pricing so there's no general rule of thumb. Heck, even the speeds are seemingly random. There's are posters to the north a few blocks of me and south a few blocks and they can't get the same speeds I can. |

I was thinking about upgrading off my 15/5 and Prime package till I thought about it and realized that everything in the house is wireless thus limiting my speed to the throughput of the N wireless speed. Oh well.... |

I can get 50mbs+ on my budget 25 dollar Cisco M20 "N" router I use as an AP, perfect for the 50/25 plan |

Just updated today from 35/35 to 75/35. Took all but 10 minutes... |

OK, I guess the joke is on me. For whatever reason I was thinking that a wireless N network wouldn't be able to fully utilize the 50/25 speed package. For that matter, even after Googling the issue, I'm not sure what a realistic cap would be for the wireless N network. |

| Depends on "which" N you have
You have 20mhz and 40mhz channels
You have 2.4 and 5.8gz radios
You can have one to I believe I have seen 6 antennas
You can have connection/data rates from 65-300Mhz
At a connection/data rate of 75mhz, single 2.4ghz I was getting right at 50mps, this is the cheapest N router I could find, its on NewEgg for 25 bucks including shipping
Typically, the maximum data rates are ~60% of the connection rate, this is due to the forward error-correction protocols of wireless.
If you spend the money for dual radio and MIMO on BOTH the router and Client you can get into the 180mps rates in a quiet location ( no interference from other wireless networks )
They certainly don't make it easy for the consumer! |
