Verizon FiOS "Tech"

[Corvette35000]

"Nice Twuck". Man that kids got somethin goin!

[drivojulianrobotnik]

If verizon actually cared about making this service a standard, they would continue deploying it around the nation.

Its irrelevant when it does not cover a majority of the populated area of the USA.

[LovelyBones0Fan]

What are these comments about its a gibberish to me. LOL. Thx for making me feel dumb. U recommend Fios. The pricing you pay is good tho.

[Frdchanga]

o.0

[fran9860]

In the newest verizon fios commercial, one of the actor says "I can see the rotation of the baseball." How the fuck can you see the rotation of the baseball????????????

[ftrktm128]

Good job on the Iphone and your current customers. Way to loose them. POS.

[iMoNsTruO]

where is the ladder

[therongdoer]

Whoa! It's so clean that it comes in 20db high??? The first of many piles of bullshit from this joke of a company.

[joeyhol75]

@therongdoer Sorry, Sunrise meter shows rF coming out of the ONT @ 20db high. The meter is too dumb to lie to me.... This is why I must remove crappy amplifiers that cable installed(more or less because they are too friggin lazy to extend the coaxl cables with couplers and get rid of all the cable splitters in the house except the one needed) so the signal is not too high. The Motorola and Cisco STB's run best between +11 and -6 db.

[remmy73]

its true QAM. not quam. QAM, ok? theres QAM and QPSK.

[thrak5]

OMG verizon stole from optimum!

[jctevere]

I have FIOS in New York. I get the 35/35 symmertrical package. I think they also offer 50/20... But I thought it was overkill. Heck, 35/35 is overkill... lol

[Autophage]

@jctevere

Residential can go as high as 35/35.

Business can go as high as 150/50 in some areas.

I would know. I'm FIOS tech support.

[jctevere]

@Autophage Shows a lot about Fios tech support... Lol. They offer for residential now 50/20, or 150/35... I would know... It's on their website.... Haha. It's one thing to say something and be wrong, but its another to go about it in a cocky way, "I would know. I'm a FIOS tech support." like your putting me down. Congratulations, your a tech support, I still probably know more than you and I'm not a FIOS tech support agent... lol

[joeyhol75]

@jctevere "but its another to go about it in a cocky way"......"I still probably know more than you and I'm not a FIOS tech support agent... lol",,,,,,,Bwahahahahahaha

[jctevere]

@joeyhol75 Lol, I just wanted to make sure that you knew I was cocky on purpose. I've learned that the best way to have someone learn a lesson is to give them a dose of their own medicine.

[TravvyG]

In Australia are fastest Internet (that I know of) is in Sydney and Melbourne with Telstra Bigpond at 30Mbit/s Cable. I've got 1.5Mbit ADSL atm cause I live in a rural area but I can get the 20Mbit ADSL2+ but it's exspansive or I can go wireless with Telstra Next G at 21Mbit/s but I can't wait for the Australian Government to finnish the deployment of the 100Mbit/s Fibre Optic Network

[iMoNsTruO]

I don't wear freaken Verizon uniform, Only vcs does here in NJ and mgmt, we wear IBEW logo. If VZ wants me to wear it, pay me for the ad on my body.

[rocker2530]

raymond is soo cute

[Crazyglues]

Wait a minute... no 50/50 light... come on' Fios.. I want 50 down and 50 up... You guys better go get the other truck... LoL

[EnigmaL3AD3R]

FIOS RUULLEEZZ!!!!

[gescoboza]

i got Extreme DSL 6.0 from AT&T for 3 years now and have NEVER had a problem. Always a steady connection, and i rarely get less than 5.5MBs every time i do the speed test and usually comes back at 6.3mb or 5.8 depending on the time

[DimonStudio]

Try To Compare it to FIOS 10mb, 20, 50 or even 100mb download!!!!

[Cheapcomputerrepair]

i got Verizon fios AND I LOVE IT!!!

No probs here get rid of the Actiontech modem/router and request for the new Westell 9100 Actiontec is always problems

[MississaugaKid]

Maybe phone-companies aren't that bad. Up in Canada, we have Rogers Cable HD service & i must admit that some of the HD Channels are very unreliable. rogers Cable really has no competition here in Mississauga, Erin Mills. Except for satellite, but Rogers knows that my mom doesnt like the idea of another satellite system being installed.

[CyrusKafaiWu]

In canada, our fastest internet speed is 25mbps on Shaw and it's only avaiable in like in BC and parts of Toronto and hamilton and costs 93.00 a month with a cap. It's terriable!

[mattfitness]

Not true... both Rogers and Videotron have 50Meg in Canada... but it's the upload speed that sucks. 1 or 2 Mbps... pfft... DOCSIS3

[CyrusKafaiWu]

they now do. we used to not.

[UserIsAnFBIAgent]

Verizon, you are so bad, you got kids showing there interest in your shitty service, when that was originally an interest like mine, but it was and never will be with Verizon.

VERIZON has service for this house, but not for my friend down the road.

Cable has and been done had, service for everyone.

Don't go to verizon, just because they left there company, doesn't mean you have to leave your company to go with them.

In the end, everyone will see.

[cflete1]

UserIsAnFBIAgent, is a cable employee lol

[UserIsAnFBIAgent]

lol, I wish...

[Fant0men]

I don't see anything wrong with this commercial. My bet is you're all pissed cause you can't get or afford FiOS.

[sobaysk8r97]

I have tivo in my room tivo in the living room tivo in my parents room and tivo in the garage

[gtr2222]

Why not put a tivo in your mind? You would be first 1 and famous, talk to Matt Lauer and Al Roker.

[fiosverizon]

VERIZON FIOS TECH SUPPORT IS NON EXISTENT!

Verizon: Its The Network of Incompetence.

[whotfsru]

O.o nice truck...

[HDFatBob08]

Actually I wear my IBEW Local 827 shirt when installing FiOS! The only guys wearing verizon shirts like that are management. What kills me is I install Verizon FiOS everyday but live in an area serviced by embarq. So... I have no land line, crapcast for internet, and dish for TV. If FiOS was in my area I would get it with out thinking twice!

[pablo560]

You will never see a FIOS tech wearing a Verizon

t-shirt.

[PinePowerLI]

They should say "not available in most areas", only the rich areas have Fios here on LI like Woodbury, Oyster Bay, Huntington,etc.

I would love to get Fios instead of crappyvision but Verizon runs fiber slower than a turtle.

[CMench26]

finally!!! I've been looking for the FiOS number to call and I got it from this commercial (0:24)

[makavelibomb1st]

this kid is cute but I feel like kicking his ass lol

[frvfilms]

clean!

[r8pistol]

What's up with Verizon using this Chester the Molester FIOS guy trying to lure this kid into his white van with hight tech TV equipment instead of candy. Do Verizon really think they're gonna sell FIOS with this campaign? This commercial creeps me and my wife out everytime we see it. Bad choice. Next episode of To Catch a Predator is gonna feature the Verizon Tech guy for sure.

[niseiko61]

I LOVE THIS LITTLE KID. Three commercials - doin' great little one, you are adorable!!

Anyone know his name or how old he is???

[joolzwolf]

Raymond Ochoa, 5 years old I believe.

[joolzwolf]

Raymond Ochoa. 5 years old, I believe.

[mmymac]

I must admit, when I first saw this commercial I was really disappointed. I mean, growing up in the 70's and 80's with all the classic 'kid' commercials (Life's Mikey, the O-S-C-A-R Mayer kid etc.) this one really fell short with the 'nice truck' line. The follow up commercial was very good, however.

[UCAGOASHADOW]

What is the song's name, or who made it?

[underwriting08]

Hello Jeremy / Deanna

Any word when is the third commercial will air?

[jeremybrandt]

I think it's already airing in some markets. I'll post it here as soon as I get it.

[libra54aries]

I love the little boy in both commercials, he's adorable

[ripley450]

from Marketing to frontline Sales Consultants, VZ is the frontrunner in fast information!

B r a v o

[princessvy1996]

I love the little kid. He is so cute!

[YoungThug16]

the kid is soo cute ...

[ericpadillaxax]

I think you people think far too deeply into the matter.

[Sepioth]

For 1 ... it's not a truck it's a van.

2 ... am I the only one who thinks it's wrong to let your 6 year old hang out with the cable guy who has "A nice truck" I bet he has candy in his pocket too ... especially the second commercial where the father just sits there reading the paper.....

[djmoney101]

jeez its just a commercial, calm down

[deliasworld7]

Yeah seriously buddy, it's just a commercial... plus I had FiOS TV and Internet installed the other day and I love it. People try Verizon FiOS it's just great.

[jvasquez3376]

More ways Verizon misleads it's customers by throwing terms most customers don't understand. Verizon should be ashamed of their BS marketing tactics. Sadly, people will be fooled by it and pay for their mediocre service. Both the kid and the "tech" in commercial the should get hit by a truck a suffer long excruciating deaths.

[4bizkidz]

You know you people who wish death upon kids are the ones with some serious mental problems. If a commercial bothers you that much dont watch tv!!!

[domo1]

this is the bestttttttt commercial ever && the pt2 is even betterrr!! i love it

[tapthat12]

love these commercials---the kid reminds me of my 6 yr old nephew. he already hate the commercial because of the comparisons.

[panicwithme3331]

lol wats really funny is that i was at whole foods and there was a bf and gf and they looked at my little brother funny(like just thinking he was cute) but then they came up to my mom and was like IS THAT THE LITTLE BOY IN THE VERIZON COMMERCIAL?!?!?! and my mom was like..no..and they were like u should really see that commercial!!! He kiiks just like that lil boy!!! lol

[brianbu01]

So 20db hot would blow up a tv. TVs read from 0db to -20db. But I am not sure what they are putting to the house since they probably are not using analog techniques to distribute the signal but rather ip techniques.

[wejhatnadar]

whaaaaaaaaaaaaat a cuteeeee boy

[zombiesfr0mhell]

Nice truck LOL wat a cuteeeeeeeee boy!!!

Lmao

[artisan8701]

NICE truck, Funny SHIT

[SpinninSkimboard]

We are getting this in like August

CHEAPER THAN COMCAST!!

[Moira19]

nice truck.

[iwantbrady]

Yeah, Moira, many of us are admiring Jeremy's, er, TRUCK! :)

[kenkajam14]

<3 this commercial plus i got verizon fios it kickz ass

[limmy321]

love ittttttt

[ejmaffei]

Sorry Jeremy, but I believe you're wrong. "True QUAM" is bullshit when discussing digital transmission over fiber optics. QUAM is an analog technique, and therefore is meaningless for FiOS. Just nonsense verbiage put in this crappy add to sound swell.

Also, the guy talks about how FiOs uses "three different spectrums of light" which is totally wrong. There is only one spectrum of light. Fios uses three different frequencies to transmit.

[Born2killx]

Who cares? It's still one of the fastest providers.

[notmart]

Funny, I thought I was the only one that picked up on this - 3 spectrums! As if the inaccuracy wasn't bad enough, would it kill the guy to say "spectra"?

[shinri1]

You're wrong. QAM (no U) can be used for both digital and analog data transmission. Rather than get into it in the limited space available here, just put 'quadrature amplitude modulation' into Wikipedia.

I agree with the incorrect use of 'spectrums' rather than 'spectra'. 'Wavelengths' would have been a better word.

[ejmaffei]

Even if QAM is correct, the tech's use of the term, "it's true QAM", is lame. What, as opposed to fake QAM?

WRT 'spectrums,' the most common way to have referred to it would've been "3 different frequencies", which of course is the same as saying 3 different wavelengths.

All this aside, I think we agree on the bottom line. The ad reeks of a moronic marketing person asking an in-house techhie for some "cool technical terms to use in an ad", then running with those terms without a clue.

[shinri1]

Perhaps you missed the second commercial. In the first one it looks like the information is going over the kids head, but in the second spot he repeats all of the tech info to his Dad, showing that he was actually taking it all in. Pedantic niggling about the script aside, I think they're clever and cute spots.

[jzygula]

Except now the kid thinks there are multiple specta and will never understand science. Choosing instead to play Football, at which he also sucks.

[jeremybrandt]

specta?

[jeremybrandt]

Click on my name to check out the second commercial in the Verizon FiOS campaign...

[brianbu01]

What the hell does "+20db hot true qam" mean?

[jeremybrandt]

quam="quadrative amplitude modulation"

+20db hot= a measurement of how clean the light is in the fiber optics.

[jeremybrandt]

Hey, at least that's what they told me...

[ziggybass8]

Saw this commerical on T.V. This is a GREAT Commerical. The Tech and the little boy do a great job together. Keep up the great work...

[YanksSatrianiJaws]

I hate this commercial....it's annoying and they play the crap out of it on the YES network....0 stars....

[Tolan04]

omg yes, they play it every other commercial
