Re: Verizon pushing FiOS internet to 50Mbps throughout US
I guess those of us at 20 are the only ones not getting squat!

Staten Island, NY | I can tell you this much, when my 1 year contract is up, I'll sign up for 10Mbps instead of 20. For my purposes, that's more than fast enough. 5 was pretty blah, but 10 would be fine to me. You'd think they'd pump 20 up to 25 or 30. |

I am at 30 and I think I'll only get 50 if I want to pay $40 more. |

| That is an interesting question - the press release says that the 50/20 tier will replace the 30/15 tier where it exists, at the same price ($89.95). That is the tier I currently have - I wonder if we'll get automatically bumped?

I have the 30/5 tier(which isn't offered here anymore) for $55 a month. I would love for that to get bumped to 50mbs. Although once my contract is up I would be willing to pay $90(current price for 30/15) for it but not $140. |

I was wondering the same thing. Will my 30/15 (which is already $140 here in California) get bumped up automatically? The press release mentioned that existing customers can call about the new speeds so I'm guessing that we don't get bumped unless we call for the new speed. |

I just called to resolve a billing issue and asked the CSR about 20/20 in my area in California. She didn't know about it but did some digging on her side. She said 20/20 "footprint" was scheduled to roll out for next week, but didn't find anything more specific than that. |

1 edit | I am in Portland, Oregon, and have had 5/2 for many Months now. If I read the news right it seems to say that soon...within a Month?...I will be upgraded to 10/2. However, another way to read it is that it is for new customers only. Does anyone know? This could help with them cutting off most Newsgroups!

This could help with them cutting off most Newsgroups You will get the 10/2 but you have to call Verizon and ask for it in order to get it. You will not automatically be upgraded to it.
I am under contract and Verizon has said in the past that if I make any changes in service that my price will go up to the new price. I wonder if upgrading to 10/2 will cause my price to go up. |

I had FIOS for 3 months, never received an account number and verizon.com requires account number to create an account, account number is on the bill that I cant view without an account number!
Proof that Verizon is the worst tech support and website out there, I'm not even going to waste my time calling.

I can't use the online account thing either for my business (internet-only) FiOS account.
It requires the account phone number, which is my residential FiOS phone number. So it says it can't register the account for a business service against a residential number

I am in a sticky situation now. I don't have Verizon phone service (I have internet/TV) so everything is based off of an account number. Verizon lives and dies by having a phone number as an "account number". If you don't have phone service, Verizon requires payment via credit card. Also, you don't receive a billing statement.
I log into Verizon.net because it will show the internet portion of my bill. It has an account number on it so whenever I need to call Verizon, I can log in and get the account number for Verizon. They have changed the website so now it takes me to Verizon.com in order to see my bill. Verizon.com requires a phone number. I don't have phone service! I am not sure what I am going to do as I want the free upgrade announced by Verizon in this thread. |

| Great! Thanks so much for the link. It let me create the account, but when I try to view the details for my internet info, it tells me that my account number is an invalid phone number.

Wait, a different link worked and I found a "change plans" link. But still, it's screwed up. |
