Comments on: Verizon Fios hits 1 million subscriber mark

Verizon's Fios Internet service has broken the 1 million subscriber milestone.

uh, "near limitless"

I know you're just a bit swept up in poetic license, but 50 Mbps Fios is hardly "near limitless" bandwidth.

at $179 for 30 mbits??

Who would get this over cable? 30 mbps is $179!! my 15 mbps cable modem is < $49/month

That's a deal

for 5mbps up. I doubt your cable modem gets anywhere near that up.

In Agreement

The problem with the so called Fios band wagon is number 1 its a very new technology that is being offered to the customers. Brand new technology means several things. Number one the cost to subscribers is staggering. Way to expensive for only 15mbits more. Quite honestly too other then maybe avid video gamers who require the high speed now a days, who needs 30mbits in there home? Secondly new technology means new problems unforseen by the companies offering it, any new problems arrise they may not have an instant fix for it, so I would highly advise waiting a while, let them iron the problems out. Third the fios cables have been proven to interfere with the copper wiring in the homes, look it up the proof is there. So you may need to have an electrician or specialist come out to fix it if you cancel the subscription. Recap Too expensive for little speed improvement plus that stats are 30 x 5 for $180 not worth it in my book. New problems will arrive I can promise that. Third fios interferes with copper wiring in the home and land lines. NOOOOO GOOD!!! To early, to soon.

BEWARE of FIOS dependability!!

I've had the "bundel" installed(8am-12pm window--arrived@2:30pm) for about two weeks. Land line is now undependable. Literally have waited days(combined time)for repairmen. Wait for it to be around a while--don't get it now. Fast but I regret gettig it.

Fios TV

Well heres the thing the town I live in was one of the first to have fios and we have gone though there growning pains with them but heres the thing I have been through 3 routers 2 tv boxes, loss of service more then a few times and to them oh well things happen well I understand that but give us a break you offer new custmuers new TV's and other stuff to join, all they gave us folks was a raise in price. I say give the folks that have been through all your growing pains somthing back for sticking with you.
