Verizon has boosted the top Internet connection speeds of its FiOS service for consumers and small businesses in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, to up to 50 Mbps downstream and 10 Mbps upstream. In New York, customers can get this speed for $89.95 a month with a one-year agreement, or $109.95 month-to-month. In New Jersey and Connecticut, customers can get this speed at $139.95 a month with a one-year agreement, or $159.95 month-to-month.

The new speeds complement the Verizon FiOS Internet speed increases introduced in May of up to 20 Mbps downstream / 5 Mbps upstream ($44.95 a month with a one-year agreement or $49.95 month-to-month) and up to 10 Mbps downstream / 2 Mbps upstream ($34.95 a month with a one-year agreement, or $39.95 month-to-month).

The Verizon FiOS offering is the fastest consumer and small business service available in the U.S.

"This new speed increase sets a performance benchmark upon which all competitors will be measured," said Chris Pizzirani, Verizon's vice president of broadband management and development.

It also costs nearly 300 beans less than than the price of 6gb of their (Verizon SA) new bandwidth offerings.

Yep - call that a Sat3 issue.

But... before comparing to SA... what's their cap?

Cap?

Therin lies the real value

In the US a cap is something people put on their pips when they go to the beach or a sporting event.. there is virtually no other meaning

Small-business owners can choose from new increased speeds, at no increase in standard monthly price, with either a dynamic Internet protocol (IP) address or static IP address. Later this year, existing small business FiOS Internet service customers on speeds of 5 Mbps downstream / 5Mpbs upstream will get upgraded to 35 Mbps downstream / 10Mbps upstream and customers on speeds of up to 30Mbps downstream / 5Mpbs upstream will get upgraded to 50 Mpbs/10Mbps, at no additional charge. Small businesses can also call the Verizon Business Center to request the upgrade immediately.

Free upgrades.. a free extra 30Mbps of speed never hurt anyone I suppose.

I guess so... lol!
