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.

The Fios difference.
When comparing Verizon Fios to Comcast Xfinity, let's look at the facts:
The latest technology.
Unlike Comcast, which uses coaxial cables, Fios is backed by a 100% fiber-optic network to the home, offering the fastest possible speeds.
More bandwith.
Unlike cable customers, Fios customers get upload speeds as fast as their download speeds—so you can post videos and photos, game and video-chat virtually lag-free.
The best of TV. Your way.
With Fios Custom TV, you can pick the plan you want based on the types of channels you watch; your personal viewing preferences; and add-on packs such as Sports, Family and Movies.

Fios is not cable.
We’re wired differently.
Verizon offers a better way of enjoying the internet, with revolutionary speeds for all your devices, flexible TV packages with premium entertainment, and home phone that's like you personal assistant.
With Fios, you get all the power, performance and reliability of a 100% fiber-optic network straight to your home. Comcast’s Cable TV & Internet doesn’t match that.
