A better way to enjoy the internet.
At speeds that leave Xfinity in the dust.
With 50/50 Mbps Fios, you can upload a 4-minute, 30MB video in less than 5 seconds.*
Have Comcast cable’s 25/5 Mbps speed? You’ll wait 48 seconds to see your video. That’s almost 10 times slower!
Don’t be taken in by the claims of other network providers. The truth is, all networks are not created equal.
