• 300/65 Mbps (previously 150/35)
• 150/65 Mbps (previously 50/20)

Verizon FiOS to introduce new 50/25, 75/35 speed tiers in June

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Broadband, Corporate News, Hot Deals

Looks like Verizon FiOS is about to get a whole lot faster. According to Broadband Reports, the current broadband symmetrical 25/25 Mbps tier will soon be changed to 50/25, while users on the 35/35 symmetrical tier will have their speeds upgraded to a whopping 75/35. The new 50/25 and 75/35 tiers will be available in all Verizon FiOS markets regardless of if the area is on GPON or BPON, and the changes should appear sometime around June 18. If you're a current customer, you may need to call in to get provisioned for the higher speed tier, but it shouldn't cost you anything extra.
