If you are one of the fortunate customers who have this state of the art service, you are aware of the lightning fast internet speeds, the crystal clear HD TV signal, and the reliable local and long distance calling offered through the 100% fiber network. If not, why is Fios service a great alternative to cable television service?

A good reason is the way in which the services offered by Verizon match up with what has been cable television’s playground for nearly 10 years. Cable companies like Time Warner quickly deployed triple play bundles of service when people were clamoring for high speed internet in the late 1990′s. These bundles allowed the customer to purchase all of their home phone and internet services through one company, and this led many people to completely abandon their traditional telecom company.

Now that choices like Verizon Fios and U-verse from AT&T are being deployed, you don’t have to order your TV service through the local cable company. Competition is good for the consumer, and consumer costs have been held down now that cable must compete with both satellite television and traditional phone companies.

Another great reason why Fios is a great alternative to cable is in the method used to deliver the services to the customer. Verizon is spending nearly $25 billion dollars to deploy the only fiber to the premise communications network. By building an all fiber optic network, there are virtually no bandwidth constraints to withhold you. You may not know, customers can now get internet speeds as quick as 50 Megabits per second, which will allow you to download a full length feature film in only 16 minutes! On the other hand, cable downloads top out at about 15 Mbps which would mean the same movie would take almost an hour to download.

To conclude, Fios offers a great deal to get the subscriber to try out the new service. Promotional offers currently available from Verizon include no start up fees, and $150 cash rebates. With specials like this out there, it is no wonder why this new service is something many are interested in instead of cable.
