Verizon introduced a new service which started rolling out this Monday, and claims to be the ‘fastest mass-market broadband service in the entire United States.’ It will promisingly deliver download speed of 150 Mbps and upload speeds of estimated 35 Mbps over Verizon's exclusive all-fiber-optic FiOS network. Verizon announced that the service would be made available to all small businesses and the majority of the more than 12.5 million homes in areas where FiOS is available till the end of this year.
This new high speed is three times more than the current speed available for users over FiOS network. Boasting upon this figure, Verizon’s VP of product management, Eric Bruno, exclaimed:"The new 150/35 Mbps FiOS Internet offer establishes a new benchmark for high-speed Internet in America, and paves the way for a flurry of emerging bandwidth-intensive applications to reach mainstream status."
Utilizing this new advance service an average user will be able to download the typical standard two-hour movie, which is typically 1.5 GB, in less than only 80 seconds, Whereas Verizon itself alleged that the two-hour HD movie, typically 5 GB, will be downloaded completely in just four and a half minutes.
Just as amazing is the experience of this new service; equally amazing is the pricing package for the service. Verizon is expected to offer this exclusive service to residential customers for $195 a month along with a one-year service agreement and wire line voice service, whereas it will still continue its current broadband services as well.
