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? We hear “fiber-optic” all the time, but may not know exactly what it means or how it can deliver data so much faster and more reliably. The “fiber” in fiber-optic stands for extremely fine strands of glass fiber. Bursts of light are transmitted through these fibers at amazingly fast rates. These digital signals travel at much higher speeds than analog signals on conventional copper wiring, making your Verizon FiOS Internet connection blazingly fast.
Verizon FiOS is also extremely reliable. Not only does your Internet connection travel over fiber-optic lines all the way to your computer, but you also have the assurance of working with Verizon, one of the largest telecommunications companies in the world. If you’ve been frustrated with the service from your cable company when your Internet connection went down, you’ll appreciate Verizon’s professionalism.
When you sign a one-year Verizon FiOS contract, you’ll receive free professional installation; a Verizon technician will come to your home, connect your computer to the Verizon FiOS network, make sure everything is up and running, migrate any voice connections to the new network, and provide you with a welcome kit filled with information and resources for getting the most out of your Verizon FiOS connection.
Verizon believes having the best connection should be affordable. It may surprise you to learn that you can get Verizon FiOS for less than your current cable connection, with fiber-optic all the way to your computer and free installation with your one-year connection. Verizon FiOS starts at only $42. 99 per month for faster connections and better service than you’re currently receiving from cable.
Your home Internet connection brings you news, entertainment, email, and more. Whether you use it to run a home business or just for information, entertainment and education in your downtime, you need the fastest, most robust, most reliable possible connection. Verizon FiOS gives you the best possible Internet connection at the best possible price.
Now that Verizon FiOS brings fiber-optic connection right to your home, delivering the fastest service, exclusive games and entertainment content, and phenomenal service, you can free yourself from mediocre Internet service.
