Question Title What is the Difference between Fios and Verizon High Speed?
What is the difference between Fios and  Verizon High Speed Internet?
 
Verizon High Speed Internet is what was formerlly called Verizon DSL.
 
Fios is the New Fiber Optic Service
 
The new service is being offered on the next generation state-of-the-art fiber network and will provide connection speeds greater than those available today with Verizon High Speed Internet.
  • 5 Mbps: Multiple family members can be online at the same time doing their own thing�playing games, sharing photos, listening to music, or watching videos�using their home network to share their broadband connection.
  • 15 Mbps: Everything you can do with the 5 Mbps service, plus you can download and view high quality full-length movie or play games in real time.
  • 30 Mbps: Everything you can do with the 5 Mbps and 15 Mbps services, plus streaming video capabilities.
The speeds listed are connection speeds between the customer's home or office and the Verizon central office serving that location. Actual throughput speed will vary based on factors such as the condition of wiring inside the customer's location; computer configuration; network or Internet congestion; and the server speed of Web sites accessed, among other factors. Speed and uninterrupted use of the service are not guaranteed.
