The 30 Mbps/5 Mbps package is the fastest package offered by Verizon, however, the cost of this package is a whopping $179.95. Anyone serious about the internet would love to purchase this package.
Although, most of the places where Verison FiOS is available offer the 30 Mbps/5 Mbps package at the $179.95 rate, there are specific areas where competition is heavy and Verizon is offering the 30 Mbps/5 Mbps package at a low price of $55.
One of these areas where FiOS is offered at the reduced rates are parts of New York that have heavy competition with Cablevision's Optimum Online. Verison's FiOS service is not only restricted to internet services, Verizon also deploys television services through these same fiber optic lines called FiOS TV.
Verison FiOS TV is currently only being offered in a few selected areas. However, Verizon plans to expand its services throughout all the states within their territory. Consumers of broadband services have long been waiting for an internet service that provides super high speeds, Verizon is providing this to the consumers.
