Verizon announced Wednesday that it will be offering new Internet speed options nationwide, starting June. The company said its revamped FiOS Internet portfolio will include speed tiers that boast 50/25 Mbps and 150/65 download/upload speeds. The two new offerings, meanwhile, will provide 75/35 or 300/65 Mbps. The 300/65 Mbps tier "is double that of FiOS Internet's current top speed of 150/35 Mbps," Verizon said. "The ways we used the Internet and watched TV over the past 10 to 15 years have dramatically shifted," Mudge added. "With the emergence of smartphones, smart TVs, Blu-ray players, tablets and gaming consoles that also serve as over-the-top devices, consumers need more bandwidth to receive the highest-quality experience." "The highest end plans, offering 300 Mbps downlink speeds at a price likely to be around $200 monthly, exceed the needs and budget of most households and small businesses. However, houses with multiple users of Internet video services, including Netflix and Hulu, will benefit from the higher speeds of some of the mid-range plans which will offer 50-75 Mbps."
