Verizon Speeds Up FiOS To 150Mbps

Posted by timothy on from the zippy-for-americans dept.

wiredmikey writes with a snippet from MacWorld offering some welcome news for Americans sick of 20th-century broadband speeds "Verizon is adding a new tier of service to its FiOS fiber broadband service, offering 150Mbps (megabits per second) downstream and 35Mbps upstream for $195 per month. The carrier has begun to roll out the service to consumers in the 12 US states, plus the District of Columbia, where FiOS is available. Small businesses will be able to get it by the end of the year, Verizon said on Monday. The fastest service offered so far on FiOS has been 50Mbps downstream and 20Mbps upstream."

    How is my comment about raising prices and/or using the Universal Service Fund a "flamebait"?
    Stupid mods.

    -1 Overrated.

    What the hell kind of moderation is that? And I see I got that thrice on this thread. Way to damage my karma (and thereby suspend me from making posts for one day). If you disagree with what I said about Congress mandating POTS to DSL upgrades, then click the "reply" button and say "I disagree."

    Don't go-round damaging people with negative mod hits.
