Fios by Verizon is a 100% fiber-optic network, delivering ultra-fast and ultra-reliable internet speeds straight to your house. If you’re living in major metro areas in the Mid-Atlantic or Northeast area, then Fios is the best internet solution for you. Fios uses a fiber optic network to transmit data, meaning data travels at lightning-fast speeds. Plus, Verizon Fios is one of the the only providers that offers matching speeds for both downloads and uploads.

Fios 1 Gig offers lightning fast internet speeds, along with more bandwidth for everyone using the internet in your home at the same time. Plus it offers a lagless experience, which means you can download & upload at a greater capacity, and you can game, stream, and work reliably at the highest speed without any buffering.

In simple terms, fiber optics is a technology that sends light through tiny strands of glass to carry data directly to your home at accelerated speeds. Fios is made of 100% fiber optic, which offers faster signals than the electrical pulses used by copper cabling.

It is one of the fastest internet technologies currently available for home internet service. In November 2020, the US had an average download speed of 170.88 Mbps for fixed broadband (not mobile)*. That kind of speed is entry level for Verizon Fios, because its plans start at a strong 300 Mbps and climb to impressive speeds up to 940/880 Mbps with a Fios 1 Gig plan – making it among the fastest internet services around. You can download an HD movie before the popcorn is ready with speeds nearing a gigabit, just to give you an idea how fast that is.
