Verizon Internet ReviewOne Of The Fastest Internet Providers In America
With both DSL and fiber optic plans available, Verizon Internet service is consistently rated as one of the fastest in the country. The maximum speeds of their DSL and FiOS plans have both been improved in 2010. Verizon DSL plans now max out at up to 15 Mbps, while their fiber optic Internet service actually reaches speeds up to 150 Mbps downstream. Verizon is about halfway through its transition from a copper-line DSL Internet service to one that is almost entirely fiber-optic lines or 4G LTE wireless Internet. At the end of 2010, Verizon Internet customers consisted of 4.1 million Verizon FiOS subscribers and 4.3 million people who still had a DSL connection.

This head start on LTE combined with their recently improved DSL and substantial FiOS deployments allows Verizon to offer some of the fastest broadband Internet connections in America. Verizon DSL Internet ServiceTowards the end of 2010, Verizon rolled out ADSL2+ in many areas where they offer DSL. This has increased their top DSL speeds up to 15 Mbps. Getting the top speeds is dependent upon the distance of your home from the closest Verizon DSL "central office" or "hub". If you live in an area that is within 7,000 feet of the nearest hub, then you should be able to get the fastest DSL speeds. If you live further away, up to 18,000 feet, then you can still get Verizon DSL, but you will be limited to the slower range of speeds. Right now, Verizon High Speed Internet has an ONLINE ONLY entry-level offer where you can get Verizon DSL for only $19.99/mo with a 2-year agreement plus a FREE wireless router. If you don't have Verizon phone service, then the price is $24.99 per month. If your location qualifies for one of the faster speeds, you can get one of the three upper tiers of Verizon High Speed Internet Enhanced. Again, depending upon your distance from the hub, you can get from 1.1 up to 3 Mbps, from 3.1 up to 7 Mbps, or from 7.1 up to 15 Mbps download speeds. Also, all of the "Enhanced" plans include Verizon Wi-Fi hotspot access. No matter which Verizon DSL plan you get, it will include the following:
Bundles are the way to go, since you always save money when you combine services together. Verizon DSL customers can bundle their Internet with DIRECTV satellite television. Also, if you get a Verizon phone line, then you'll always get a slightly lower price on your Internet service.

Verizon FiOS Internet ServiceAs of 2010, Verizon FiOS was rated the fastest Internet service in the U.S. five years in a row by PCMAG.com. With download speeds up to 150 Mbps, FiOS has set the bar as one of the fastest broadband Internet connections in United States - even faster than cable. Many Internet service providers will throttle speeds or impose bandwidth limits on a connection when they think a customer is using too much bandwidth. However, Verizon FiOS never throttles a connection and they have not placed any limits on bandwidth consumption with their fiber optic service. With Verizon FiOS, you get consistently fast speeds and unlimited Internet. Other telecom companies offer fiber optic service that is a combination of newer fiber optic cables and older coaxial cables. Verizon is the only major provider that uses a 100% fiber optic connection to your home (FTTH). It is for this reason that Verizon FiOS can offer faster speeds, better connections, and more options than almost any other ISP in the country. There are three regular tiers of Verizon FiOS, plus a new, super-fast "Ultimate" plan:
* Prices shown are for customers that have a Verizon home phone line. All FiOS Internet packages come with Wi-Fi hotspot access, 9 email accounts, 10 MB of personal web space, 24/7 support, and the Flex View service that lets customers download movies to their computers or laptops and watch anywhere. Part of the popularity of FiOS is the television service. About 85% of all FiOS Internet subscribers also get FiOS TV as part of a money-saving bundle.

Basically, higher tiers give you faster connection speeds and more HD / premium TV channels.
