Verizon\'s Fios Internet
« on: October 27, 2004, 01:01:51 PM »
http://www22.verizon.com/FiosForHome/channels/Fios/HighSpeedInternetForHome.asp?promotion_code=&variant=

Two options:
1) 5mb down/ 2mb up for $39.95
2) 15mb down/ 2mb upload for $49.95

Finally we get some decent speeds.  Hopefully this\'ll push the cable companies to increase their\'s!  If it\'s available in anyone\'s city please let us know, not available here (big surprise).

Whaaaaaat? No way. Are these just laybeled speeds or are these the speeds you actually get? If so then i have to check because this is just nuts. T1 anybody? I dont know how fast T3 is but who would bother with it, when you can pay this for almost the same speed.

BTW: How are you connected with this?

Hmm.  I\'ve been on verizon for a long long time.  I\'ll have to check it out.



EDIT:
It says I need to give them a call to find out.  I\'ll call tomorrow.

I\'m pretty sure it\'s fiber (Fios = Fiber), and it says you have to have your house wired for CAT5.

sound goods, but i don\'t like the price.  Hopefully they bring the cost down to compete with DSL and Cable, who knows by doing this, DSL and Cable have to cut down the price tag of their $30 per month...

If you tyhink $30 a month is to much for highspeed internet you are..

(1) A crack head.

(2) A cheap bastard.

(3) Need a job..You lazy bum.

(4) Or living in the stone age when a soda use to cost a nickle and a piece of bubble gum was a penny.

I pay $44 per month for Comcast hi-speed.  I think it\'s 65 without cable service.

I could not live without cable modem because I use the web for so many things. my 56k aol use to be around 25 bucks. As long as the price does not go up on comcast I won\'t complain.

LIC sucked my dick.:eyemouth:

I paid $10 for 56k per month, you may be right about me being cheap.  I am poor too.  Its not like everybody in this forum uses DSL/Cable and other hi speed connections.

I pay 29 bucks now for DSL.  Speeds not up to cable, but still very good.  This is intriguing though.  We don\'t have fiber to our door though here.  I doubt if I am in the ball game.

I do know that Verizon is putting fiber to the door in Tampa big time.  They are trying to get into the TV delivery as well.  Geeze.  What a power house.  Land line, Cell Phone, INternet, and TV.  THey could freaking own you.

I\'ll be more than happy if Verizon can crush the cable companies.  I hate Comcast with a passion.

I called and the people are completely clueless there about it.  I do know that it isn\'t available in Tampa though.
