Verizon FiOS customers will now receive upload speeds that match their download speeds!! This will mean easier and faster sharing across the board. The first round of upgrades will be for residential customers. Whether the bulk of your home wireless is utilized to connect your in-home office or utilized by your family, everyone will win here. Maybe it’ll be . . .
- When you’re uploading a training video or multimedia presentation, or
- backing up files by uploading them to the cloud, or
- video chatting with supplier or remote office on Skype, or
- beating an online gaming opponent to the punch on your lunch break.
Any way you look at it, the enhanced upload speed will offer a greater value to existing customers at no additional cost. But wait, there’s more . . . The real exciting part for us at Teltek, is that all FiOS small business customers will also receive this upgrade later this year.
“Faster upload speeds means better sharing experiences,” said Mike Ritter, Verizon’s chief marketing officer for consumer and mass business. “All Internet sharing – whether videos, large photo files or gaming – starts with uploading. FiOS all-fiber-optic technology offers a unique opportunity to enhance our customers’ Internet experience on a mass scale by increasing our upload speeds to equal to our industry-leading download speeds. As the Internet of Things becomes a reality, equal download and upload speeds will become essential.
The new FiOS Internet speed tiers are:
| Existing Speeds | New Speeds |
| 15/5 Megabits per second (Mbps) | 15/15 Mbps |
| 15/5 Mbps | 25/25 Mbps |
| 50/25 Mbps | 50/50 Mbps |
| 75/35 Mbps | 75/75 Mbps |
| 150/65 Mbps | 150/150 Mbps |
