Verizon FiOS has been named the fastest Internet service in the country by PCMag.com. The independent online technology guide and magazine polled tens of thousands of its readers nationwide and determined Verizon FiOS provided the fastest speeds and highest customer satisfaction.

"PCMag.com readers are echoing what our FiOS customers have been telling us for years - that our all-fiber network is providing them with the best Internet experience in the nation," said John Wimsatt, senior vice president of marketing for Verizon.

Verizon FiOS Ultra-High-Speed Internet

Only Verizon delivers ultra-high-speed broadband straight to customers' homes over the nation's most advanced fiber-optic network. The network already reaches more than 10 million homes and businesses, and it will reach more than 18 million by 2010.

Verizon also offers the unmatched symmetrical FiOS Internet service with the fastest upload speed (up to 20 Mbps) offered anywhere, coupled with an equally fast downstream speed of up to 20 Mbps.

Verizon Expanding FiOS High-Speed Internet and FiOS TV

"Verizon is expanding the reach of its FiOS network to more neighborhoods every day, bringing the promise of greater Internet speed and reliability to more and more American consumers and businesses," Wimsatt said. "When coupled with FiOS TV's stunning picture-and-sound quality, more and more high-definition channels, and burgeoning video-on-demand choices, FiOS is setting the standard for entertainment and information access in America."
