1 edit | 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). |

| 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.

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.

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 |

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? |

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. |

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. |

Middletown, DE | 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 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. |
