For those who just want the blazing Internet goodness without the HD, they are also offering a 25\/25 Mbps service, and they still offer the 50\/20 Mbps service as well, which is a bit odd. They seem to have updated all of their Internet packages, and now the highest tier has the slowest upload speed out of them all. Hopefully that&#8217;ll change fairly quickly, because things appear to be a bit off-balance there. Nevertheless, FiOS is now in a position where they don&#8217;t have any competitor in the US that matches their upload speed, regardless of cost.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not all fun and games, though. There is also a higher early-termination fee that comes alongside the new services. Formerly, it would cost $179 to terminate the two-year contract, but now it&#8217;s up to as much as $360. Again, that&#8217;s only if you cancel, and we think that once you get a look at the uncompressed HD and feel for the speedy Internet, you&#8217;ll decide that you&#8217;re in for the long haul.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br clear=\"all\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tags:<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gearlive.com\/news\/tag\/fios\" rel=\"tag\">fios<\/a>,<br \/>\n\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gearlive.com\/news\/tag\/fios+speeds\" rel=\"tag\">fios speeds<\/a>,<br \/>\n\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gearlive.com\/news\/tag\/fios+tv\" rel=\"tag\">fios tv<\/a>,<br \/>\n\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gearlive.com\/news\/tag\/shawn+strickland\" rel=\"tag\">shawn strickland<\/a>,<br \/>\n\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gearlive.com\/news\/tag\/symmetrical+internet\" rel=\"tag\">symmetrical internet<\/a>,<br \/>\n\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gearlive.com\/news\/tag\/verizon\" rel=\"tag\">verizon<\/a>,<br \/>\n\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gearlive.com\/news\/tag\/verizon+fios\" rel=\"tag\">verizon fios<\/a>,<br \/>\n\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gearlive.com\/news\/tag\/videos\" rel=\"tag\">videos<\/a>,<br \/>\n\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gearlive.com\/news\/tag\/youtube\" rel=\"tag\">youtube<\/a>,\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#FFCC66; padding:5px; margin-top:5px;\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gearlive.com\/news\/article\/q110-verizon-fios-symmetrical-35mbps-internet-speeds\/\" title=\"Verizon FiOS launches faster symmetrical 35Mbps Internet speeds, better HD TV bundles\">Verizon FiOS launches faster symmetrical 35Mbps Internet speeds, better HD TV bundles<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gearlive.com\/\" title=\"Gear Live\">Gear Live<\/a> on Mon, January 18, 2010 &#8211; 1:17:51\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/DXw8u9eYId_DHcZmjkF2phwIqis\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/DXw8u9eYId_DHcZmjkF2phwIqis\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/DXw8u9eYId_DHcZmjkF2phwIqis\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/DXw8u9eYId_DHcZmjkF2phwIqis\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.gearlive.com\/~ff\/rss_2?a=kT0q_vh8DQk:nVZluQWnyQs:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/rss_2?i=kT0q_vh8DQk:nVZluQWnyQs:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.gearlive.com\/~ff\/rss_2?a=kT0q_vh8DQk:nVZluQWnyQs:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/rss_2?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/rss_2\/~4\/kT0q_vh8DQk\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning we got word that Verizon was bolstering their FiOS packages, with the big news (from where we sit) being that the company is now offering a new symmetrical 35\/35 Mbps Internet package as part of their &#8220;Best&#8221; bundle, which also brings an expansion of offerings in their FiOS TV HD package.
