On the verizon fios 1 gig plan and its amazing so fiber is the way to go. Sometimes i get even more than 1 gib its like a 5%-10% up/down. Sometimes its 600/200 because i work from home but even so it never fails. I pay 74.99.

That's from a condo building on N 2nd St. Same $50 monthly price. We can't yet deliver that bandwidth to a SFH. We're working on it! Depending where you are located we can deliver around 180 Mbps down and 75 Mbps up. Other places, about half that. (And we are working to upgrade the other places.)

Submit your info on our web site. (There is no obligation.) We'll get back to you and will be able to provide you with more details.

Thanks for the info. That speed is more than I thought your ISP provided. Are those speeds from a single family home or a multi unit apartment building? Regular residential $50/month or a more expensive plan? Is that typical or average for a single family home on your normal plan?

I did a lot of testing on this because of a problem I was having with a TV. So I was testing wired vs wireless on my FIOS. I get screaming down speeds (800mb/s+) wired. Running ASUS Mesh wi-fi 6 I get 300mb down and just about the same up.

Good sized house, 3 TVs all wireless and tones of devices.

I’m so much more worried about ghost kitchens

That figures

I found a map from a non-verizon site and it looks like my area has "coverage", but Verizon says I only have access to their home 5G plans. I think it could be that my apartment building itself doesn't have the capability. I think my problem is most of my friends/co-workers probably have similarly un-upgraded apartments and so do not have access either, and so I thought it was like Baltimore where I lived before (essentially no Fios in the city).

PhillyWisper here. how much bandwidth we deliver depends on where you are and single family home vs apartment/condo building.

We did an install today (3/10) and got the following results:

An important thing to note, at speeds over 50 Mbps, lower latency is more important than bandwidth.

Yeah seems to be widely available in Philly

I gotta look into this then. When I lived in NYC, I had FiOS, and had maybe at most 30 minutes of noticeable downtime ... over 5 years living there.

Meanwhile, with Comcast, I've had more downtime in a month.

I pay 65 for gigabit with Fios. At least with internet, no taxes and router is free. Speed is great, solid.

For anyone who pays a router rental fee, buy one off eBay and return the rental, you’ll recoup the cost quickly.

I have FIOS gigabit and just got: 759 down / 914 up.

That's with active network activity, so that's not a "pure" speed test. But I've been extremely happy with Fios. In 5 years I haven't had a single problem. I haven't needed a technician to come out. I haven't had to call them and threaten to cancel my service so they don't raise my bill to some ridiculous amount. They haven't even changed my rate in 5 years! Switching from Comcast was one of the best things I've ever done. It's night-and-day. Even if your speeds stayed exactly the same you should switch just to not have to deal with all the other bullshit.

I used to work at the junkyard, we would order from them every day for breakfast and lunch. The pancakes.....so good

I saw someone carrying one around 16th and Market the other day.

You got you an answer. Verizon is the winner here. And hopefully 2.5Gb coming soon.

Pros of fios I only had an outage once , My bill never had mystery chargers and my price has NEVER gone up.

The scrapple is to die for…

I have gigabit and it’s essentially 1gbps each way. Just ran this test: https://imgur.com/a/5FkqELj

Might be worth seeing if you can run CAT5 up off the panel and into your ground floor — that’s what ours does, and along with a mesh network, we’re getting gigabit everywhere, even into the back yard.

Probably not. Just kidding around because it's amazing that diners usually have so much variety

People in this city can actually get FiOS?

Faster than Comcast, I speak from experience.

Interesting… I’m grandfathered into free Gigabit (my total bill is only $71.99, I pay for Digital Voice and a router, and Gigabit is $0 on my bill) but my speed is only 300/330. My phone could be connected to my 3rd-party repeater though. It’s usually around 300 on the main floor and 50 upstairs (router and everything is in the basement of a two-story rowhome)
