Re: Verizon upgrading FIOS tiers 15 minutes from the Canadian border here and I've got options but am still dealing with a 1Mbps/384kbps connection with no data limit (yet) while I hold out for FiOS! |

Re: Verizon upgrading FIOS tiers? said by aaronwt:said by serge87:said by Jackarino:I wonder if all of these speed upgrades that are coming will affect consistency and quality of service..
That's when X-GPON comes into play  (hopefully within the next 10 years) They haven't even affected BPON around here yet. I still get 43/35 speeds anytime of the day, any day of the year. Yes but Verizon refuses to upgrade BPON to GPON. Regardless of what the press release stated. Pushing Quantum while talking out of both sides if their mouths. |

| I believe that X-GPON will become available in the next 2 years. |

kudos:10 | Not sure where you heard that, but there is no production X-GPON equipment available from any Verizon OLT vendor yet - so its kind of hard to predict anything. 2 years is way too soon. |

Midlothian, VA | The next gen would be EPON running at 10GB, the specs and gear are currently all under review and lab only at this point. Any deployment would be 2-3 years off at the earliest and that's probably being generous but who knows with the pace of tech sometimes.
The cable fanboys keep tossing EPoC as their next cure all for what ails coax. |

I believe the XG-PON's will be available for Verizon and other companies to purchase and use in their Main Facilities around then, so in theory those ONTs will get the homes of customers a couple years afar that, since XG-PON is backwards compatible with GPON.
Everyone could get standard 300/325mbps connections, like everyone can get 15/5 now.
I have read this somewhere, and will try to find if I bookmarked it, so I can post a link. |

i believe EPON is Not Backwards Compatible like GPON and XG-PON is/will be. |

Re: Verizon upgrading FIOS tiers Is there some way my account can be cleared or whatever has to be done so I can compare plans online? I've asked three different CSR people and they said they'd do it but I keep getting the "call local office"... duh, I bought a computer so I can... shop online? I know it's not a cookie because I've tried it on 6 different computers - one of them was a clean install yesterday - and no joy. |

I was receiving the same prompt for several months. In my case, a pending order not going through was causing the error.

| My "local" office in 220 miles away in Manhattan. I've called several times and so far they haven't succeeded which sucks because I want to see the local prices for the area I live in. I can put in a neighbors address but that doesn't show exactly the prices I would get. |

No sure where everyone is getting that you will be upgraded free I just had a chat with support and they said if I wanted the new speed I would have to pay for it. I told them I have 35/35 plan and since they don't have it any more shouldn't I be given the new teir freee they said I will have to pay the price increase.
Can someone please tell me what is happening do they know what they are talking about should I wait and see should I cycle my router? should I call and speak to someone in tech support?
I'm really confused now
Thanks

Germantown, MD | To get the same price you pay now, you will be downgraded, or pay the increase in price, with it comes the faster speed. Like it or not. Plain and simple. Quantumly. BLEEPED |

Nobody ever said the upgrades would be free. It's been stated many, many times in multiple threads that you have to pay to upgrade.

said by Thinkdiff: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.
Does this ONT handle 75/35?

Apparently, Comcast is taking a different approach...
"Confirming another early scoop by Broadband Reports, the company has announced they're also doubling the speed of the existing Xfinity Blast! and Extreme 50 customers at no additional charge, from 25 to 50 Mbps and 50 to 105 Mbps, respectively."

kudos:10 | And just wait until Comcast decides to 'exempt' its 305Mb tier from the 300GB cap - what fun the net neutrality fans will have.... |
