starting Monday November 19th, 2007
Currently Available States: NY/NJ/CT
Available States starting 11/19/07: DE, MD, PA, SC, NH, ME, TX, WA, OR, IN, CA, VA, MA, RI, FL
New speed offerings are available to meet the needs of customers who require more upstream bandwidth.
These Premium Speed Packages are in addition to existing FiOS Internet speed tiers.
Premium Speed Packages feature “symmetrical” bandwidths, meaning the customer’s UPLOAD speed is consistent with their DOWNLOAD speed.
PA, ME, DE, MD, NH, SC, TX, OR, IN, CA, VA and WA States - 15/15 for $64.99 monthly with 1/2 yr terms.
MA and RI States - 20/20 for $64.99 monthly with 1 yr term
I guess I should add FL also which will be 20/20 for $64.99 a month..
Remember this price is with a voice line also. Standalone is $5 more a month.. | |

| Is there any word on whether business customers can get these speeds? Will the cost differential be the same? E.g. I pay $100/mo for 15/2 now, which is $55/mo more than residential dynamic. Can I expect to pay $65+55, or $120/mo for this? Or is it not even available for business accounts?
Thanks!

| I got a flyer in postal mail today hawking the 20/20 service.
It says there's $15 off for the first month if you're an existing 10/2 or 20/5 FIOS customer. You can't upgrade online and you need to call in.
It says the $64.99 rate is for FIOS Internet 1 or 2 year term customers with Verizon voice service. Then it says "Rate increases after term period." The wording is odd and one would imagine, unless they already anticipate a higher rate that it would say "Rate may increase after term period."

The wording is odd and one would imagine, unless they already anticipate a higher rate that it would say "Rate may increase after term period." I quizzed a phone rep about this, and was told the price DOES increase; specifically, it goes to the month-to-month rate. The way to avoid this is to sign up for another 1 or 2 year agreement.
Now we all know VZ is not bashful about price increases, so YMMV.
I'm waiting for the day they have everyone hooked on super-fast uploads that cable cannot match. Then they'll start taking some fat price increases, knowing that people will complain but won't switch to cable because they're hooked on the speed that only FIOS can deliver.
Seriously, I'm betting that VZ will become the neighborhood crack dealer, in a manner of speaking. Get you "hooked bad", then jack up the price.

I think if they went 20/5 you'd get a free upgrade which is what happened to me. But 15/15 isn't an "upgrade" of 15/2. It's a different tier.

Let the Lemming's jump of the cliff for 15/15 for the same price the chosen ones get 20/20 for.
I think I'll wait for that free 20/5 upgrade that everyone has already been promised to have before the end of the year.

If they had 20/20 for the same price I would probably consider it.

| Re: NEW ~ FiOS INTERNET PREMIUM SPEED PACKAGES Change in that NY's 20/20 will go down by $5?
That would sell me on the 20/20.
Now I just wish I understood that if I entered a 2 year contract - if there are speed upgrades during that time (and the 20/20 goes away, if I get the bump to the new speed or not)
I plan to order in the next day or two. | |

2 edits | What a crock, yet again those in the privileged areas get 20/20 while the rest of us get shafted with 15/15 for the same dam price. They better lower that at least $10 or they can forget about me upgrading until they level the field and bring 20/5 and 20/20 to Maryland. | |

Many customers in VA already have 30/5 for $55/mo so for them this may not be the greatest deal. You pay $10/mo more for half the downstream and 3x the upstream.
Just be aware that you won't see that full 15Mbps upstream outside of your region. When transferring files across the country (east coast to west), you'll rarely see more than 5Mbps. | |

| Come to think of it, I wonder if the 30/5 and 50/5 packages will remain. At around $100 more its not much of a deal anymore considering the upload is nothing compared to 15 or 20 for much cheaper. Perhaps speed tiers of 30/30 and 50/50 are in our future as well? | |

| It seems to me to be a game of cat and mouse. Just like in poker, you don't always go 'all in' even if you know you have the winning hand.
If FIOS puts out a tier and another provider (say Cablevision in this example) is able to match, in order to be the 'leader' they need to again up their tier. So if they go higher then they had to, and Cablevision matches or exceeds them, then they have to go even higher to move back ahead. If they move ahead by a little, and another provider leap frogs them, then they can again up the ante.
I don't know what the standard tiers from all these other providers in other states are, but if Verizon is leap frogging them, then that is what they are shooting for. I'm guessing there isn't a technical reason, maybe other then current aggregated bandwidth out of each CO that they can't offer the same tiers across the country. Maybe they already had more bandwidth out of the CO's in CV land?
No, I don't have 20/20. I have 20/5 which was upgraded from the 15/2 service I have had since it became available to my home.
I'd really like to know how many of you folks are getting 15/15 or just like to complain?

I can't seem to find about it anywhere on their site.
Maybe I can offer up that on Monday 11/19/2007, they are going to release a 100/100 Fios tier in Pakistan for only $24.95/mo with a lifetime commitment.
I have confirmed this with some writings from Nostradamus back in the early 1500's, so of course it is true, but hurry up and enjoy it while you can,
because Big Brother has been watching your illegal torrent downloads since 1984, and the world is also supposed to end in 2012.
