The majority of existing Verizon FiOS customers will pay $10 to $15 more per month to double or triple their Internet speed, under new service plans Verizon has announced.
The new speeds, available in a range of double- and triple-play bundles, plus stand-alone service, feature tiers with download/upload speeds of 50/25, 75/35, 150/65 and 300/65 megabits per second, Verizon says.
Three of those speeds 75/35, 150/65 and 300/65 -- are twice as fast as those previously offered, Verizon notes. In addition, Verizon will continue to offer its entry-level speed of 15/5 Mbps.
The two highest downstream speed offers, of 150 Mbps and 300 Mbps, as well as the new 65 Mbps upstream speed, are said by Verizon to be the fastest, mass scale U.S. residential Internet speeds available in the market.
Existing FiOS customers can upgrade to the new bundles and enjoy the faster speeds anytime, with no upgrade fee.
The latest upgrades are simply more evidence that, despite criticism, Internet service providers continue to upgrade speeds for U.S. consumers.
