Verizon FiOS – My Family’s Story
Thank you to Verizon FiOS for sponsoring this post.
I have been a Verizon FiOS customer since June of this year. In these few months, I have enjoyed the television, internet and the home phone service. If you are new to this blog or not familiar with FiOS you may be asking, “What is FiOS?” That is a great question and I have a great answer for you. FiOS is fiber optic technology delivered to your house. Fiber Optics is different from cable because it uses light to transfer video and data signals directly to your home. Verizon FiOS’ fiber-optic network is the reason FiOS is able to give great performance and reliable service. Fiber optics are less susceptible to weather and is immune to electrical disruptions. The bandwidth capacity is greater which is a must have if you have a large family with lots of electronics like mine.
FiOS internet comes in several speed options. Check out the following list:
50/50 Mbps – this allows you to upload and download in a flash. It allows you to play games and stream videos virtually lag-free
100/100 Mbps – among the fastest broadband speeds. It allows you to download movies in mere minutes, upload photos in seconds and effortlessly use all your devices at once.
150/150 Mbps – this premier speed is for serious internet users. This is great if you have multiple devices doing intense activities all at once.
300/300 Mbps – this speed is great for multiple hardcore internet users. Use this to connect all your devices and push them hard.
500/500 Mbps – this is Verizon FiOS’ supersonic speed. If you have lots of users and lots of devices downloading, uploading, streaming and sharing files all at the same time. This one is for you.
My family and I have been going crazy with the fast internet. We have also been enjoying the FiOS TV. One cool feature is that you can get the channels you like and skip the channel packages you don’t. The ability to pause, rewind and record live television is awesome as well. I am not even going to tell you how many times the ability to pause the television, look something up on the internet and go back to the television show has come in handy at our house!

My wireless provider has been driving me bonkers. Might be time to make the switch!
Fios isn’t fast enough for what I need and so I have Comcast which works great for us. They have horrible customer service but the speed is just what we need.
That’s awesome! I rely so heavily on a fast internet connection with my home-based business! Thanks for sharing this.
I wish this was available in my area. We’ve looked into switching!
I think the Verizon fios deal is such a great one. I have never been a Verizon customer, but I am looking to change phone companies.
Wow that fastest speed is waaaay faster than mine. I would love having some faster upload speeds. Download speeds aren’t too bad but the uploads take forever!
The best thing I ever did was switch to Verizon! Like your family, my family in enjoying those lightning fast internet speeds. We love it!
We have Verizon too, they have been very reliable
We always have top internet speed because my hubs is a tech nerd!
I would love faster internet speed. I actually think this would be awesome for my parents, who have no good options otherwise!
we still have comcast and have thought about switching. Idea of switching emails is scary.
I wish this was available in my area. Comcast has the monopoly here 🙁
I have had FIOS since day one. I love it.
I have heard of this service. As of right now I have Comcast internet and I absolutely hate it! My husband and I pay for faster speed, but we don’t get it and we have to call constantly to get what we paid for and it’s always temporary. I will definitely have my husband look into this service.
Fast internet speed is so important when you work online, like we do. I never heard of this service but we’ll check it out.
We have Fios at home and love it. It is so easy to use and works seamlessly for everyone in the house. We can hook up many devices that keeps everyone entertained while connected to the internet.
with as many people in your house as you have, you NEED supersonic speed!
Yes, my family cracks me up. My girls really enjoy the internet. I still don’t know all the rules to Marco Polo by phone, but I hope they will teach me.
The internet speed is awesome. We had no problem in great wind and rain storms. I want to see how it handles the snow that will be coming in a few months.
This is awesome! I’ve been loving your Verizon FiOS updates. Hopefully we get it in our area soon – I am a loyal Verizon customer for cell service and would love to use their other services, too. And your family is hilarious!
That sounds terrific! So far, it’s not available in our area but I will keep my eye out. The fact that it isn’t as likely to be taken out by weather is huge.And super fast internet would be huge in our house.
Lucky girl!
