Verizon FiOS Internet Ranked No. 1 in PC World's Annual 'Best and Worst ISPs' Survey
Only FiOS Internet Earns Top Marks Across All Nine Survey Categories
July 10, 2007
NEW YORK -- Verizon FiOS Internet -- delivered over
the nation's most advanced, all-digital fiber-optic network straight to
customers' doors -- continues to earn high marks from its users, as the
service is ranked first in PC World's latest Best and Worst ISPs survey.
Verizon FiOS Internet was the only service to achieve top ratings in
each of the survey's nine categories: overall satisfaction, connection
reliability, download speed, upload speed, customer service, technical
support, e-mail service, spam blocking, and antivirus/security.
The service is now enjoyed by more than 1 million homes and businesses.
"PC World is one of the most trusted and well-regarded computer
magazines in the world, and we're honored that FiOS Internet was ranked
No. 1 in its ISP survey," said John Wimsatt, senior vice president for
Verizon Telecom Marketing. "Customers appreciate the difference
our all-fiber network brings by delivering faster speed, better
reliability, more advanced services, and superior entertainment and
online experiences."
Verizon FiOS Internet also was recently named in the top five of PC
World's 100 Best Products of 2007. The only Internet service to
make the prestigious list, Verizon FiOS Internet was ranked fourth on
the roster of what the magazine called "the finest products and
services of the past 12 months" -- "based on exemplary design,
features, performance and innovation."
Verizon is the only major U.S. telecom company building an advanced,
all-digital, fiber-optic network, on a mass scale, all the way to
customers' homes. Only Verizon's fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP)
network has earned the certification of the independent Fiber to the
Home Council.
Verizon offers FiOS Internet service in more than 1,700 communities
in 16 states, offering downstream speeds ranging from up to 5 Mbps
(megabits per second) to up to 50 Mbps and upstream speeds ranging from
up to 2 Mbps to up to 10 Mbps. For more information about Verizon
