Verizon Boosts FiOS Uploads To Match Downloads

Posted by samzenpus on Monday July 21, 2014 @04:53AM from the greased-lightning dept.

An anonymous reader writes Verizon is boosting the upload speeds of nearly all its FiOS connections to match the download speeds, greatly shortening the time it takes to send videos and back up files online. All new subscribers will get "symmetrical" connections. If you previously were getting 15 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up, you'll be automatically upgraded for no extra cost to 15/15. Same goes if you were on their 50/25 plan: You'll now be upgraded to 50/50. And if you had 75/35? You guessed it: Now it'll be 75 down, and 75 up.

  Unless you have netflix.
  Then it's the 400k/112MB plan.

Now all Netflix needs to do is get a FiOS account at their house.
