Verizon Speeds Up FiOS To 150Mbps

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."

    This is not a citation.
    This is hearsay. A citation would link to the actual law, or quotes from the law, that state "Congress shall grant XX billion to ATT, et al for the purpose of installing fiber." or somehting along those lines. All you did was link to an OPINION that has nothing to back it up.
