  • Verizon FiOS - Faster Internet For Less - If you watch television, and particularly if you have cable television, you probably see ads on a regular basis touting the "faster Internet" services from your cable provider. While cable Internet is certainly an improvement on other Internet access options, Verizon FiOS now offers faster connections than cable, for less money, with better quality and service. Not a hard choice for most people.
  • Verizon Fios Offers Painless Installation - Painless Installation with Verizon FiOS Signing up with a broadband Internet service provider can involve a very difficult installation, or paying through the nose for a professional installation.

  • Verizon Fios Leaves Cable Internet In The Dust - Once upon a time, everyone connected to the Internet over phone lines. Dialup was slow and the lines were often busy, but that was what we had. At work we might have the luxury of a T1 line, but at home we had, at best, 56K. Then DSL and cable modems came along, and high-speed Internet access became a consumer product. Now Verizon FiOS is changing the face of consumer Internet access. If you watch much television, you see a ton of commercials from your cable provider bragging about the speed of their Internet connection, compared to DSL. Unfortunately for the cable company, Verizon FiOS is faster, cheaper, and more reliable than cable modems. Add great service and members-only content, and Verizon FiOS embarrasses cable companies.
  • Verizon FiOS: Excellent Support Means No More Waiting For The Cable Guy - Verizon FiOS: Excellent Support Means No More Waiting for the Cable Guy If you currently have cable Internet and/or television, ask yourself how happy you are with the reliability, and with the customer service you get when you call for help. Most cable customers would happily choose another provider, if someone else offered the same speed, quality and content options at a comparable price. Verizon Fios goes one better. Cable Internet providers brag about their high speeds and fiber-optic networks, but there’s one fact they’re leaving out. The fiber-optic networks cable providers use stop at your curb.
  • Verizon FiOS Offers All-Digital Fiber-Optic Internet - Some Internet access providers claim to have an all-fiber optic network, but that is not quite true. Every network providers except Verizon actually offers fiber-optic only to the curb; your signal travels into your home through regular copper wiring. Until very recently, fiber-optic into the home was not possible, though most cable providers don’t advertise the fact that the fiber-optic connection stops at the curb. Now, with Verizon FiOS, your Internet connection travels over a fiber-optic network all the way to your computer. This "all-the-way-to-your-home" fiber-optic connection brings Verizon FiOS into your home with connections of up to 50 Mbps or 30 Mbps downstream, depending on your package, and up to 20 Mbps or 5 Mbps upstream. In non-technical terms, Verizon FiOS offers the fastest home Internet access available. What makes fiber-optic so much faster?
  • Verizon Fios Brings Fiber-Optics to Your Home - Even if you’re not a technical person, you have probably noticed Internet service providers talking about fiber-optic connections. You know that fiber-optic connections are faster and provide higher quality, more reliable service. In other words, fiber-optic equals good. Cable companies, particularly, are very eager to make sure you know fiber-optic is good. What they don’t tell you is that they don’t offer fiber-optic connections all the way to your computer. While providers don’t like to admit this, their fiber-optic connection stops at the curb. Verizon Fios is the only Internet provider who actually brings fiber-optic all the way into your home, right to your computer. Fiber-optic connections are, indeed, very good. Data signals are transmitted as pulses of light over extremely fine strands of glass fiber.
  • Verizon FiOS in Tucson AZ, Not Yet. - If you are unaware what "Verizon FiOS" is it is Verizon's advanced high speed, high bandwidth "fiber to the premises" product. Verizon has built out a netwok in some markets where Verizon is the ILEC ( incumbent local exchange carrier ) to actually deliver a true fiber optic handoff straight to any residence or business location. FiOS is sending a shudder down the spines of current cable companies becuase of the blazing speeds that Fios is able to deliver for a fraction of the cost.
  • Which Phone TV Internet Package Is Right For You? - Bundled phone, TV, and Internet service can be a little confusing since we're dealing with several types of service. It will help you to know that only the cable, and phone companies offer bundled plans with all three products. A phone company will typically offer landline, voip, wireless or even fios phone service with satellite TV and DSL for Internet. A cable company will most likely offer cable TV, digital phone, and cable Internet. Both DSL and Cable Internet are high speed or broadband, just different technologies.

  • The Current Status of FTTH in the US and the Rest of the World - Understanding FTTH (Fiber To The Home) FTTH is an all-fiber connection to the home which provides a minimum of 155Mbps bandwidth on both up stream and down stream directions. Basically, it is composed of a fiber from the service node to the optical splitter, the optical splitter which separates to (fan out) terminate on single home ONU. So similar to FTTC (Fiber To The Curb), FTTH is a point-to-point architecture with a dedicated connection from the home to the network. This fiber link provides secure transmissions by virtue of the fact the it is much harder to tap a fiber than a copper cable.
