Verizon Launches New FiOS Quantum Service, Offers Speeds Up To 300 Mbps

Residential Verizon customers can now take advantage of the company’s fastest-ever FiOS Internet service.

Called FiOS Quantum, the new Internet tiers offer upload/download speeds of 50/25, 75/35, 150/65 and 300/65 Mbps, the latter three offering speeds twice as fast as what was previously offered by Verizon.

“A revolution in speed has arrived,” said Bob Mudge, president of Verizon’s consumer and mass market business unit. “The new FiOS Internet speed and bundle options provide incredible value, and represent the most significant mass scale, consumer broadband speed enhancement in the nation in the past decade.”

The company will continue to offer its entry-level speed of 15/5 Mbps as well.

“As consumers stream and watch more movies, sports and shows in their homes and on devices other than traditional TVs, such as smartphones, tablets, gaming consoles, Smart TVs and Blu-ray players, they need faster broadband to enhance their experience,” said Mike Ritter, CMO for Verizon’s consumer and mass market business unit.

The service is available as a standalone service as well as part of Verizon’s double and triple-play bundles.

Existing FiOS customers can upgrade to the new plans with no upgrade fee. Verizon says upgrading will typically cost customers between an additional $10 to $15 per month, and will double or triple the speed of their existing plans.

The top-of-the-line 300/65 Mbps plan will be available only as a stand-alone product for $209.99 on a month-to-month basis, or for $204.99 with a new two-year contract.

The new faster speeds will not be available in all areas. Customers interested in the service can visit Verizon’s website to determine if it is available in their area.
