You may have seen the ads as of late regarding Verizon
Rewards program. If you were distracted by the guy being taken away by birds in
the commercial, Verizon’s message was that they will match your download speeds
with your upload speeds. Now, for anyone trying to run a small business or an
avid gamer – this is huge.
Maybe you didn’t know it, but yes, your internet connection
has different speeds for uploads and downloads. Without getting too much into
network architecture and how data transfer actually works, just know that ISP companies
set the default setting to download faster than upload, as most people have
more of a need to download information. If you are running a VPN Server or
perhaps sharing a video with friends – you may notice that your computer’s
speed isn’t nearly as impressive as when you download something or stream a
movie.
Now, allow me to preface this by stating that this free upgrade
seems totally worth it, so far. As commonplace with Verizon, I’m waiting for a surprise
technicality on my next bill. However, if you do go through the two second
steps to match your upload speeds to your download speeds, don’t be too surprised
when you see something like this:
Yeah,
To my surprise, I’m paying for 15MBPS, yet I’m receiving
over 24MBPS. Which is pretty cool, but it’s not what Verizon’s Rewards program
is selling. They are selling to match what you are paying for. Probably should
have mentioned that in your ads, Verizon.
Then again, one really can’t complain – I’m getting more
than I’m paying for plus the added bonus of increased upload speeds. All in
all, a pretty good deal.
