Verizon Fios fiber deployment
Hot off the heels of
SBC's fiber deployment to 18 million folks, Verizon announced they will be bringing FiOS Fiber to the Premises (FTTP) high speed network to 6 more states (for a total of 9), including Virginia, Delaware,
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and to Engadget's home state of New York. Hot damn. Verizon Fios offers 5 Mbps downstream and 2 Mbps upstream for $39.95 per month, additional speeds of 15 Mbps and 30 Mbps are available for a bit more. So here's to 30 Mbps speeds coming to our offices and homes by this time next year (yeah right). Cheers!
