How good is verizon fios and how much will it cost if i get only internet and phone?

Answer 1

The FIOS fiber signal is superior to no others.  With the FIOS fiber you will NOT share your Internet signal with anybody.  You have your own line from your home back to the central office.  With all other suppliers your coax comes from your home to a junction box and and mixed is w/ your street, from there it goes into another box that is meshed in w/ your neighborhood, and then from there you get smushed into another box with your local area before you go back to the office.  That is why at certain times you will experience "slow down", because everybody is "on-line" at the same time.  As far as the land line phone.  If you do get FIOS you will get a new ONT (Optical Network Terminal) and with that you get a BBU (Battery Back Up).  What this is used for is when there is a power outage you will still have dial tone (that is if there is a corded phone in your home).

For the cost that will be determined by the Internet speed you choose:  10/2, 20/5, 20/20, or 50/20.

It also depends on the land line options you want such as:  caller id, call waiting, 3 way calling, voice mail service, etc ...
