A Real Home Internet Service?
One may be just around the corner for some of you. Verizon will be offering a new internet service in a few geographic areas beginning later this summer:
A 2mbps to 5mbps Fios connection will cost $35 a month if purchased along with Verizon's local and long-distance telephone service. The service will cost $40 if purchased alone. A connection of up to 15mbps is available for $45 a month if purchased as part of the same telephone service bundle, or $50 alone. The company did not reveal pricing for the 30mbps plans.Heck, I pay nearly $50/month now for Comcast 3 Mbps service. It will be great if Verizon is able to agressively roll this out in many markets as it will put price/performance pressure on the cable companies and help drive skinny band DSL to it demise.
