FiOS Internet Review
August 5th, 2009 admin
Presently we have 15Mb / 2 Mb FiOS service put in for only $49 / mo. Other provider which we had offers the same cost, but after their promo price expired, the connection speed dropped down to almost half the original. Another is that, they had a number of service issues, intermittent downtime, and on one scenario the company accidentaly cut my service, giving me all the headache.
Verizon FiOS is out of the ordinary simply because of it’s speed. It simply means they Verizon will be sending their technical people to string fiber optic cable to my home. The people that are here today are good, fairly trained technical guys, they affixed black fiber down the entry, drilled an opening in the left corner of my house for the wire, and then bind and tagged the black wire all over the house to where they’re going to affix their router-like endpoint. Once they’re done with that, they just have to join together the wire they strung into the main system operating into this house and I’ll have superb Internet, simple as that.
Browsing the web, all I see are appealing reviews:
- If you can get FIOS, its definitely worth the time and hassle to switch. Dealing with their 800 number can be frustrating, but the service quality is still good.
- As these trends continue, having a fast internet connection will become even more important. That’s why it’s important to see Verizon’s FIOS on the marketnot only does it provide more speed (at a better price) than today’s alternative solutions, but it’s got plenty of bandwidth to grow in the future.
The unconstructive reviews are unrealistic. Not so long from now it will be ready and I’ll be able to run a speed test for you for you to see.
Update: It’s able to provide the service they claim. Not only does the speedtest.net report 10 Mb/s down and 1.8 Mb/s up, but Azureus as well could attest to that. Here’s a snapshot of the download speed:
And that’s with a firewall turned on! Cool.
