If you watch television, and particularly if you have cable television, you probably see ads on a regular basis touting the "faster Internet" services from your cable provider. While cable Internet is certainly an improvement on other Internet access options, Verizon FiOS now offers faster connections than cable, for less money, with better quality and service. Not a hard choice for most people.



Verizon FiOS service offers the only Internet connections that travels over fiber-optic lines all the way to your computer. Cable providers boast fiber-optic networks, but don't advertise the fact that these networks extend only to the curb, not into your home. Verizon FiOS is the first Internet provider to take advantage of new technology which takes fiber-optic connections right into your home, all the way to your computer.

How fast is fast? For the technical-minded, Verizon FiOS speeds are up to 50 Mbps or 30 Mbps downstream and 20 or 5 Mbps upstream. For the non-technical-minded: very, very fast.

You might expect that a faster Internet connection would be much more expensive than cable Internet, but in fact, Verizon FiOS is cheaper than cable. With rates starting at $42.99, you'll pay less for Verizon's faster service than you currently pay for cable Internet.

Honestly, it doesn't matter how fast your Internet connection is if you can't connect. You pay for access, not outages, and you expect your Internet access to work when you need it. With Verizon FiOS, you get reliable access and friendly customer service from one of the largest telecommunications companies in the world. If asked, most people would not give their cable company high marks for reliability or service; Verizon FiOS gives you the quality and customer support you need and deserve.

Installing a new Internet connection is probably the last way you want to spend your free time, right? With your one-year Verizon FiOS contract, you receive free installation. A professional Verizon installation technician will come to your home, install Verizon FiOS on your primary computer, connect you to the Internet, connect any voice services that are moving over to FiOS, and provide a welcome kit with all the information you need to make the most of your service. You'll keep your free time free, and know that your Verizon connection has been set up correctly.

Most people would willingly pay more for the enhanced speed and quality of Verizon FiOS, coupled with the excellent customer service of Verizon and the exclusive members-only content, including games, movie trailers and reviews, and music reviews and mixes. You no doubt agree that all of this is worth at least as much as you're currently paying for cable. After all, this is much more than you get from your current provider.

The good news is, you do not need to pay more for Verizon FiOS; in fact, you'll pay less. With packages starting at $42.99, Verizon FiOS is faster, better, and cheaper than cable or DSL. Now is the time to switch to Verizon FiOS and start getting more for less.
