Verizon FiOS offers the fastest internet connection by far. When we talk about speed we refer to two components, connection speed and throughput speed. Connection speed refers to the speed at which data is transferred between the Verizon central office signal and your computer when you first connect to the FiOS service. Throughput speed is the rate of transfer of information, whether to or from, your computer and the central office signal. Download speed differs from upload speed in that download speed is always quicker. Download refers receiving an email or saving a program from a server to your computer, while upload refers to sending an email or posting email files onto another server.
Speed is also affected by the configuration of your computer and the number of computers in one location using the same connection. Networking multiple computers together can eat up bandwidth and slow up all the computers within that network. If all computers within a network are being used and are downloading or uploading at the same time, it can significantly slow things up. However, with FiOS, the speeds are so quick that it is not as noticeable as with other internet connections such as broadband, DSL or dial up.
Internet speed is important to everyone. Even if you just use email and browse around a bit. Today with digital picture sharing, just sending a few pictures through email could take a while with slower internet connections. Browsing on a slow connection is often futile and frustrating, even if it is just for fun. There are so many interactive sites, not to mention gaming sites that require speed. The faster the connection the more enjoyable the internet becomes. Fiber optics creates a connection that literally travels as fast as light. The tiny fibers can be packed in multitude in one cable, providing much more bandwidth than before.
Verizon FiOS offers 24/7 technical support as well as online tutorials, a FAQ section and user guides as well as online help. Knowledge is power and knowing how your computer works, how to best use your system and how to navigate the web in the best way possible, is invaluable!
