FiOS Quantum (1 Viewer)

Anyone else get this? I upgraded yesterday, supposedly the upgrade kicks in Monday. It only bumped up my monthly payment 5 bucks, and now I'll be upgrading from 35/25 to 75/25.

That's like way better internets.

Anyone else on board?

 
I will probably upgrade in October when my 2 years are up (if they give me a good deal again), but I really can't complain about my 35/25 service which is usually 45+/25. I would rather have 35/35+ than 75/25. I will check back in a few months.

 
got upgraded comcast biz in my home office this spring and have measured 90/40 consistently since then. Problem i'm running into is that most sites arent serving this speed.

Not sure of the exact technical reasons, all i can say for certain is that i havent seen a drastic improvement in movie watching, download speeds, streaming, etc

 
Wasn't until today that it kicked in -- I did a live chat with Verizon tech support last night, we rebooted some things, and this morning I changed some settings on my wireless router and it's now working.

Awesome. Getting over 80MB down; can't seem to measure upload speed because speedtest registers an error every time I do the upload portion.

Internet so fast, the internet can't measure it.

My citrix connection into work is crazy fast. Like being at my desk, maybe better.

 
i don't know what this all means, but i do know that if this google fiber things turns out to be correct, that my 1 gig speeds will make your 80 mbps look like a GD joke.

Can't wait for teh announcement monday!

yeah, but probably so fast that my modem, router, computer can't even come close to handling 20% of the capability
 
Question about the Quantum, (and I don't want to sit on Verizon's tech support line) if I pay for 35/35 and then do the bump for Quantum 50/25, do I end up with 50/35? Not sure if 'Quantum 25 d/l' is better than regular d/l 35. Is there some way for me to test this?

 
Another question with Quantum.  Seems if you upgrade to quantum you can watch DVR'd shows from a phone or tablet.  Anyone doing this?  I'm wondering if you have a show recorded in HD can you watch it on a regular tablet?  Do you have to have an HD tablet - does that work?  Or would you have to record the show in SD?

I don't have quantum and I don't have an HD tablet.  

 
I have 75/75 that I got part of a promo a year ago.  I thought I would be receiving the new router, but then they claimed I wouldn't get it because the old modem/router was good enough to do 75/75.  I should have gotten that in writing, as I searched online and other people were victims of this vz bait & switch.  

Frontier recently purchased Verizon FiOS in my area, and had some issues.  I just called them yesterday and said I was effected by the outage, and asked if they were giving anything to customers.  They gave me a $25 credit.  So for new frontier customers, complain & you get $25.

 
I've since upgraded to super duper Quantum 300/300.  It's a wonderful thing.  I'm on Wifi so I'm only getting in most rooms around 150, but that's still pretty damn nice.

 
I'm in the midst of moving and was checking out pricing and it turns out that Fios internet now offers 1 gig and phone for like $70/month....check out your plans and see if you can upgrade...i'm currently 50/50...can't imagine the difference...

 
Im still on 15mbps and never have any issues. They want $50 more a month to upgrade to 50mbps. I dont see either instant internet or this gigabit speed offered and I live in NY.

 
Was chatting with their customer service and said I want internet speed upgrade without paying more. Their "exciting" offer was an upgrade to 50mbps for $60/month extra. #### that noise. Spectrum is offering 100mbs for $79.99/mo in their triple play or if I was a new Fios customer I can get the 1gig for $79.99/mo. How do these companies treat their existing customers like ####. Gonna talk to the wife and consider switching to Spectrum (no Im not interested in cutting the cord yet).

Shark move here is to "move out" and cancel the FIOS service, with your "sister" (the wife) moving in the next day to get the promo rate.  Warning from experience:  PITA if you are doing the and have cable cards, but make sure you get a truck roll and if you win the lottery and have a good tech, it should only kill the entire day.  And you're going to need multiple calls to get the cards to work properly on the premium channels if the tech leaves without pairing them properly.

Which reminds me...time to move out again myself...

My wife (our service is in her name) has been a Comcast customer for 25 yrs. I got a mailer a few months ago for cable and internet for about half of what we pay now for a 2 yr deal. I called, it's only for new customers.
