Verizon's New Fiber Tech

Verizon Tests 10Gbps FiOS, Says New Fiber Tech Can Go Up to 80Gbps

With new tech, Verizon says each color of light can support 10Gbps on a fiber.

Verizon says it has tested 10Gbps broadband service with a residential customer in Massachusetts, using new technology that will let its FiOS fiber-to-the-premises network scale up to 80Gbps "as the market demands."
FiOS residential speeds go up to 500Mbps downstream and upstream today. Verizon's fiber network will eventually get a huge upgrade with NG-PON2 (next generation passive optical network) equipment.
