OREANDA-NEWS. May 31, 2012. Responding to consumer demand for ultra-high-speed home broadband service, Verizon next month will more than double the speeds of several of its FiOS Internet tiers - and introduce two new tiers with even faster speeds.

The new FiOS Internet portfolio will feature download/upload speed tiers of 50/25 and 150/65 megabits per second (Mbps), as well as two new tiers of 75/35 and 300/65 Mbps.  The latter speed is double that of FiOS Internet's current top speed of 150/35 Mbps, the nation's fastest, mass scale residential Internet speed.

In addition, Verizon will continue to offer its entry-level speed of 15/5 Mbps.  The other speeds in the company's current industry-leading FiOS Internet portfolio are 25/25, 35/35 50/20 and 150/35 Mbps.  (A FiOS Internet speed grid with more details about the current and future FiOS speeds is available by clicking here.)  Pricing for the new portfolio will be announced next month.
