Your TV is nervous. It knows what happens to obsolete technology. But it shouldn't worry - it's actually your cable technology that's past its prime. It's time for Verizon FiOS! Visit www.verizon.com/fios for more information.
A silly video about programing your Phillips remote.
Verizon FiOS comes standard with hundreds of channels, thousands of movies and service that's ranked #1 by many customers.
Dont be fooled. Xfinity is Comcast. And Verizon FiOS brings 100% fiber optics straight to your home. This is beyond cable. This is FiOS. Visit promo.verizon.com to learn more.
Testing my Verizon FiOS 35/35 Internet service. This link absolutely screams with speed. Uploads are UNREAL! I can move data to an FTP server 10x faster than before with Cox.
Use your wireless phone as a remote for your FiOS TV
Is Verizon FiOS better than Comcast Internet in Chesterfield, Virginia? I hope so because I just switched 12/24/2009
This is me testing Verizon FiOS out at a relative's home. They have the 25Mbps/15Mbps package which is really provisioned at 25Mbps/25Mbps. In this test, I performed a speed test to the nearest server based on the network layout and routing. I also performed a browsing speed test by visiting uncached websites which are popular/well known. Lastly, I performed two file downloads, one download from Akamai (100MB) and a test download from Steam. This YouTube video took no more than 6 seconds to upload in 1080p on this connection. All of this was performed over a Wireless G connection on a Windows 7 laptop. Verizon, please bring FiOS to me! DSL won't be cutting it any longer!
