Re: NEW ~ FiOS INTERNET PREMIUM SPEED PACKAGES
Good luck. No such luck for me, as I'm well beyond the 30 day period. 
Guess I'll just have to wait for them to come to their senses.

said by clupea  :I also have 15/2 business FIOS (since 9/2005). I just called Verizon's business line (877-483-2522) and they have no information about any packages other than 30/5, 5/5 and 15/2 (same as what they've been offering for two years). There was no indication they'll be rolling out 20/5 or 15/15 for business. Add this to no support for FiOS TV with a business account and it appears FixedIP == chopped liver *sigh*. I have since canceled my 15/2 business fios (within my 30 day trial) and opted for 15/15 residential for half the price. They said if I ever wanted to come back, I can without a residential termination fee. So if they offer the higher speeds on business at some point I will definitely go back so I can have no restrictions and a static IP. I really don't care If i need 2 ONTs installed to have fios TV in the future. Although they did make it clear when I cancelled that FIOS TV will be available for business customers after the new year but at "Business Prices" |

Yeah, they are totally screwing over their business customers. I still maintain they want to keep their T3/DS3 business, which costs businesses a HECK of a lot more than a FiOS connection. I don't see them offering these speeds anytime soon, they apparently have no intention of keeping their business customers happy.

You have to run as fast as you can just to stay where you are.
If you want to get anywhere, you'll have to run much faster.

It took me three days of calling Verizon to get my 30/15 upgrade. Apparently the system didn't think that speed tier was available in my area, so I eventually got through to a supervisor in the tech. support area and the problem was solved within about 2 hours of speaking to him.
All together, considering other people's problems, I'm pretty happy that I got my upgrade within a few short days.
Really happy with it too, although I wish it was 50/20 instead of 30/15  |

I'm in Warrington, Bucks County, PA. I called yesterday and asked what new speed packages were available. The agent put me on hold for about 7 minutes and came back and told me the 15/15 package was available for $69.99.
I asked to be upgraded. She said she was putting a work order in and to expect the upgrade within 24 hours. I noticed it hit within a couple of hours. Here's my results:
BBR tests are comparable. |

said by JohnA :Your price goes up $15/month. $46/month includes discounts for new subs. My bad it's actually 45/month...but even with it going up $15/month, that would still only make it 60 and not 65.

When I checked online (already have FIOS so i checked a neighbor's number) the 20/20 was also available for me for 45.99/month, but when i called up they said it was 64.99. Can anyone confirm that they are actually signed up for one of these packages? That would save me a good 19$/month!

said by Silver_2000 :said by toramo :sense, I'm in NoVA and ordered the upgrade from 15/2 to 15/15 last Wednesday. It's been almost a week. My account management page on verizon.net says that I have 15/15 service but I'm still stuck at 15/2. I've tried rebooting my router. I suppose the next step is calling FiOS customer support. Ugh. Well Im in the same boat - called and asked for the 15/15 upgrade - the account page shows its complete. The Support folks say that the account is upgraded. yet I get about 11,000 down and 800-1000 up ... No change The ONLY speedtest that shows anywhere near the old speed of 15/2 is the verizon.net/speedtest is that one - Every other speedtest that is actually on the internet is in the 10 mb/1mb range - which means that Verizons internet facing routers are not keeping up ... I called support and they said someone will call tomorrow -Im not going to hold my breath... I have had FIOS internet and TV for years and as time goes on the support has fallen WAY off. for those reasons I can no longer strongly recommend it to friends and family like i used to Again, after running the speed test (at verizon) did you run the Fios Optimizer? That is what got my speed up to where it should be.... |

That's peculiar.
In Schenectady, NY the 20/20 price is $25 more per month. I am not surprised there is variation but that's a heck of a lot of variation. |

Same happened to me. After 1.5 hours on the phone with Verizon, I gave up. Then I noticed at speedtest.verizon.com after I ran the test at the bottom there was a "Fios Optimizer" link. I installed it, it did it's thing, I rebooted and bam...I'm at 15/15...Wish I wouldn't have sat on the phone with VZ...LOL |
