That rating means users for each service, on average, could stream 1080p or better video with satisfactory load times and little stalling. Google Fiber and Fios essentially tied for first in broadband video experience, a category in which most of the 26 broadband providers scored a rating of very good. Google Fiber was the only provider to top the 100Mbps threshold, with an average upload speed of nearly 107Mbps, edging second place AT&T Fiber by more than 10Mbps and third place Fios by over 12Mbps.
But, says CNET broadband expert Trey Paul in his review of Fios, 'if you live within Verizon's East Coast coverage area and Verizon Fios is available at your address, its internet service is tough to beat.'įor most people, the most important component of their internet service is the download speed, but there are plenty of people whose work relies on getting large files uploaded quickly. Currently, Fios is available only in eight states: Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Virginia (plus Washington, DC).
