Verizon FiOS Internet Service Rated 'Head and Shoulders Above the Rest'

According to readers of ComputerWorld magazine, Verizon FiOS is one internet service that they just love. "There's little doubt as to the best U.S. broadband ISP, according to our readers -- Verizon FiOS wins by a wide margin," the magazine reports.

Of course the fact the company is offering a connection that is much faster than its' competitors probably had a lot to do with the report. Still, company representatives were quite happy with the results.

"The comments from this survey strongly speak for themselves," said John Wimsatt, senior vice president for Verizon Telecom marketing. "Computerworld readers know technology, and we're honored by their overwhelmingly positive assessment of FiOS Internet service. The results of this survey validate what we've known all along: Verizon customers appreciate the difference our all- fiber network brings by delivering faster speed, better reliability, more advanced services, and superior entertainment and online experiences."

Verizon FiOS is growing fast. The service is now offered in more than 1,700 communities in 16 states, offering downstream connection speeds ranging from up to 5 Mbps (megabits per second) to up to 50 Mbps and upstream connection speeds ranging from up to 2 Mbps to up to 10 Mbps.
