Verizon prepares FIOS upgrade Print

VERIZON IS PREPARING TO ENABLE 100-Mb/s broadband services in the next year for its fiber-to-the-premises network.  This upgrade comes after trialing 100-Mb/s services to a small number of users for at least a year.

The upgrade in the speed is justified by new services that will greatly increase residential bandwidth consumption. Customers with a multiple TVs, DVRs and network storage devices in the home will increase the demand from customers on the network.  Some speculate that the additional bandwidth will not be used by most residential customers.

This summer, Verizon unveiled a new set of home gateways for FiOS aimed at boosting up in-home networking speeds from 75 Mb/s to 175 Mb/s.
