Verizon Fios

Verizon Fios February 28, 2010

When it comes to securing the best communications for your home, it helps to think outside of the box. Within the past few years, fiber optic communication has started to become more and more widespread, with services like Verizon Fios and AT&T U-Verse beginning to cover major markets. At the moment, Verizon Fios is the largest and most developed fiber optics network, servicing many areas in 16 of the most populous states. Here are the services they offer:

Internet: Internet supplied by fiber optics soars above even cable internet, which is regarded as being quite fast. Verizon offers 3 different tiers of access, going up to 50 MBPS download and 20 MBPS upload, which is between 2 to 10 times faster than most cable providers, depending on region and ISP. This makes networking and media downloads a snap, as even the biggest files only take minutes to tackle.

TV: Fios has a great cable package, offering up to 500 digital channels, with 100 of those presented in stunning high definition. Even normal channels come in more crisp and resolute due to the reduced noise that fiber optics have compared to their copper cable counterparts.

Phone: Not only is audio more clear, but Fios phone is unlimited in the amount of minutes you can use every month. If you have a land line, it makes sense to throw this service into the bundle, as it can be a big money saver on top of providing more concise, clear conversations.
