It isn’t the end of the line so far for Digital Internet Service Qwest believes a blend of fiber to the node plus Digital Service Line to houses , given fresh technology that can operate at 40Mbps, defeats the all-fiber system publicized by the cable companies and telcos such as AT&T.

In the coming months, Qwest will be presenting a higher speed to its current market. The Qwest has been improving its system for couple of years, running fiber from its central offices to fresh remote terminals with high-speed VDSL2 electronics nearer to customers’ homes.

There are numerous basis for various speeds with a vast contribution coming from location to the nearest remote terminal. Though Travis Leo, Qwest’s DSL director did say that “almost all” can get 12Mbps speeds. He wouldn’t provide any numbers on how many subscribers can actually get 40Mbps downloads. Just those that are lives closest to the terminals (located at remote locations) will be able to view anything that is even close to the 40Mbps. (also, they will require a new modem in order to be able to perform this).

It sounds decidedly lackluster if you compare it hand-in-hand to FiOS or DOCSIS 3. Qwest can reliably deliver 50 Mbps to the majority of consumers (the new deployment, now can reach 100Mbps) It offers better-quality service compared to the majority of Digital Internet services in the country. It undeniably outperforms the majority of Digital Internet services in the nation . Though AT&T claims their top speed service to my suburban Chicago home is a disappointing 6Mbps, they’ve yet to achieve even 5Mbps.

Verizon with a view to delink hte DSL tag from its operations, is shedding off its holdings in DSL business Even internet service providers who only offer DSL, such as Qwest, acknowledge that the future of the internet lies in using fiber-optic technology. Qwest’s fiber-to-the-node rollout should be able to achieve something between 12Mbps and 40Mbps. In a mark of its appearance 2.0 Now and again, Qwest is to emphasize upload speed just as much as downloads, says its system can achieve up to 20Mbps upstream, from the prison upload speed telecommunications annoyed customers a welcome development The DSL Internet Service Provider only offers 768 Kbps upload with its 20 Mbps service..

Qwest forcefully maintains that it has all necessary speed for the coming future. Leo repeated the company’s assertion that broadband sales are not entirely speed-driven and that Qwest’s “value-added” services are utterly competitive with cable. In the future , the company can always discover new channel-bonding technology or just run fiber out from its remote terminals and up to people’s homes Some technology a company can put into place when increased speed is needed include running fiber from remote terminals to residences , as well as innovative channel-bonding.

New improvements have been presented to FiOS TV’s Twitter and Facebook widgets, a 2 interactive social TVs applications added lately by Verizon. With the latest upgrades, consumers transmit Twitter messages in real-time and using an onscreen keyboard customize their Facebook profile.

A new addition to its FiOS TV service. The company is increasing their focus on adding new functionalities to improve customer experience of social networking on FiOS TV. These new features give consumers additional ways of connecting with each other while watching TV.

“The Widget Bazaar”, is a new store front released last July, along with this are Facebook, Twitter, ESPN, and online video services. This gives FiOS customers a possibility to acquire new widgets and applications. They will also soon be opening the “Widget Bazaar” to third-party developers which will be made possible using the revenue sharing agreement.

Triple Play seems offerings seems to be the name of the game among cable operators but despite intense competition, Verizon could still stay ahead of the game. They made this possible by creating more features to its FiOS TV service and increasing awareness of FiOS.

Verizon’s future growth plan includes increasing the number of FiOS TV and Internet offers online. There has been a growth in FiOS TV subscribers as revealed by their past 2Q report. By the end of the 2nd Quarter they had scooped a few million subscribers. FiOS awareness augmented and penetrated more and more markets and the 4G wireless network upgrade has strengthen Verizon’s market position against its rival AT&T and Sprint Nextel.

Currently we are having 15Mb / 2 Mb FiOS Internet Verizon FiOS service installed for $49 / monthly. Before we had Time Warner’s Road Runner which also have the same price but after their 6 month introductory price ended, they only offered 7 Mbs down / 384Kbs up. Same price but no longer the kind of service we subscribed before. Aside from the sudden change in upload and download speed, they also had intermittent connection, especially during the when everyone is using the line. And on one scenario the company “unintentionally” terminated my subscription.

FiOS Internet is fascinating, because of it’s fiber optic connection. It simply means they need to send guys to put fiber optic cable in my home, it’s really cool. The technical guys that are in charge for the installation strung a black fiber down the hall, drilled a an opening in the lower ground of my studio room for the wire, and then join together and fastened the black wire inside the studio room to where they’re going to affix it to their router-like endpoint. Afterwards , the staff just have to splice the wire they bind into the main system functioning into this building and after that I’ll have a super fast connection. I can download without the hassle of “buffering” scene.

Looking around the Internet , all I see are conflicting reviews, either inviting or totally discouraging buy anyway, I’d rather believe those comments that are realistic and are not half-bakes, meaning complaining without really knowing the real issue. A few excerpt from the reviews I read:

• Well I finally had FIOs installed at my house, and let me tell you it is well worth the money! view source
• DSL reports has 637 positive reviews to 22 negative, with six month rating of 85%.
• If you can get FIOS, its definitely worth the time and hassle to switch. Dealing with their 800 number can be frustrating, but the service quality is still good.
• can’t shut up about how great it is, heh.

Update: Installation is done and guess what according to NYC Speakeasy speed test report, a 10 Mb/s down and 1.8 Mb/s up, and more, a popular application like Bitcomet demonstrated that you can accomplish these speeds literally speaking. Cool huh. You don’t have to believe, here’s a snapshot. If you’re really hungry for speed, go for FiOS Internet, I rate it 5 star for SPEED.
