How fast is Verizon Fios Gigabit Internet for business?
Fast enough to complete the day’s tasks 100 times over.
When you operate your business on Verizon Fios Gigabit Internet, you and your employees have up to 940 Mbps of download speed to work with. You already know it’s super fast, but Verizon Gigabit Internet offers more than a quick download speed. Gigabit customers experience a reliable fiber-optic network, a generous Service Level Agreement, and upload speeds up to 880 Mbps.
What can your business do with one Gig of internet? It could:
- Download a 500 MB project in about 4 seconds
- Host web conferences in real time
- Support up to 100 employees on the same network
What makes Verizon’s Fios network for business so fast?
Instead of the copper wiring traditionally found in a cable network, Verizon’s Fios network uses a system of glass cabling. Data along Verizon’s fiber-optic network travels at nearly the speed of light, allowing for download speeds up to 1 Gig.
Cable internet and DSL share their networks with other telecommunication services, but Verizon Fios doesn’t have to share. This type of network is less susceptible to interruptions and bottlenecks, making your online experience smooth and reliable.

- Cable cannot deliver speed parity—upload speeds will never match download speeds.
Business
- Business internet price: $249/mo.
- Get more expedient customer service backed by firm Service Level Agreements.
Residential
Residential internet price: $79.99/mo. w/ Auto Pay + taxes. For up to 940/880 Mbps5

Choose between a variety of Verizon Fios speeds.
Verizon Fios Internet for business can reach up to 1 Gig, but that power might not be necessary for every company. Check out other Fios Internet plans to find the right speed at the right price.
Is a Verizon Fios gigabit connection worth it for my business?
That depends on your business’ needs. If you run a software startup, your day-to-day tasks may include heavy data backups to the cloud, running a host of sites and platforms, or IT support for a team of primarily web-based employees. This kind of business would greatly benefit from a Gig of network speed.
Curious about the power of a Gig? Here are some things the network can handle:
- Support a team of up to 100 employees
- Host a widely-attended video conference
- Operate a VoIP telephone line with nearly zero interruptions
- Perform overlapping online tasks: heavy downloads, cloud uploads, and live edits
Alternatively, you might run a small pastry shop. Here, your web tasks might be relatively simple: shooting a few emails, maintaining financial records, or editing your website. This kind of business owner might not need the power of a Gig and might be better serviced by a different Verizon Fios plan.
