How to Make FiOs Faster

FiOs is fast but can it be faster? There are ways to optimize your computer's Internet speed capabilities so you can download movies faster, do more research in less time and get more accomplished in our time online. Follow these steps and surf the web faster.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Optimize FiOs speed through Verizon's website. This is for those who already have FiOs, but the Internet-download time is sluggish. Go to Verizon troubleshooting and choose "troubleshooting your connection." Scroll down and click on "slow connection." Select "optimize you FiOs speed." Follow the directions.
2. Clean up your computer. Do a virus scan and remove any viruses. Trash old cookies. Free up space on your hard drive. Defragment your computer. After you have done all of these things, restart your computer and open the Internet. Check your FiOs speed and repeat Step 2 if needed.
3. Contact the FiOs server--Verizon for instance--and get a repair-person to come out and fix the problem. Many times you can just call them and follow their step by step instructions to alleviate the barrier that is keeping the FiOs speed down. If all else fails, you may need to move on to Step 4.
4. Upgrade your FiOs system. There are now different FiOs packages to choose from. Verizon offers packages that offer speeds ranging from 5 Mbps/2 Mbps to 15 Mbps/2 Mbps to 30 Mbps/5 Mbps. The packages range in price from $40 to $140 depending on the speed you choose. Call Verizon at 1-888-GET-FiOs or by ordering online at Verizon's website.
