Question: Why am I not receiving the advertised 25 Mbps upload and download speeds from my Verizon FiOS service?

Feb 10, 2011

Answer:  The variance in speed is probably because FIOS does not offer dedicated bandwidth, instead it is variable similar to DSL or cable modems, it is a basic oversubscription model.  T1 circuits offer dedicated bandwidth so you are guaranteed the amount of bandwidth that you subscribe to. The cost to achieve dedicated speeds comparable to FIOS may not be feasible for most small businesses.
