Not sure that you need a really fast Internet connection? If you don't work at home or do a lot of things on the computer you might not need an ultra fast Internet connection, but that doesn't mean that it wouldn't be nice to have. There are a lot of things that you need to have a high speed Internet connection to do these days because most of the content that is created for the Web is made to be viewed with a high speed Internet connection.

Verizon FiOS is the first 100% fiber optic digital network. The Verizon FiOS Internet service gives customers screaming fast Internet connections that can go as fast as 30 mega bytes per second. What could you do with an Internet connection of 30 mega bytes per second? Here are some ideas:

- 1. Internet shopping – Do you love Internet shopping? You can shop a lot more effectively and shop at better online stores when you have an Internet connection that is fast enough to play the multi-media content and Flash content that most online stores have on their Websites these days. Waiting for product photos and store information to load can be a real pain, and if you have a slow Internet connection you might not get to shop on certain sites. Switching to the super fast Verizon FiOS Internet service can make it easier for you to shop for the items you love online.

- 2. Watching TV and movies – Online movie rental is really popular and there are several sites where you can stream new releases and popular movies right on your computer or you can download them to your computer to watch later, but only if you have a screaming fast Internet connection like the Verizon FiOS Internet service. Cable and satellite Internet connections are just not fast enough to download movies or stream movies online. If you miss your favorite TV show you can watch it online the next day, but only if your Internet connection is fast enough to support the stream.

- 3. Download music – Are you a true audiophile that wants to download all the newest music as well as old classics by your favorite artists? There are lots of great legal music services now on the Web where you can download all the music you want for one flat monthly fee, but only if you have an Internet connection that won't get hung up and drop files halfway through. The Verizon FiOS Internet service is fast enough for you to download hours of your favorite music without interruption.

- 4. Gaming – Have you always wanted to play some of the popular video games that are out now but can't play them with the slow Internet connection that you have now? MMORPGs, the multi-player games that are incredibly popular, require an ultra fast Internet connection in order to load because the games are very graphic-heavy and there can be millions of people playing the game at the same time. Playing MMORPGs and other video games can be a fun, cheap form of entertainment but only if you have enough Internet speed to play. Get the Verizon FiOS Internet service and you can explore the world of online gaming.

- 5. Keeping track of family and friends – Do you use your computer to download photos and videos of family and friends? Downloading photos and videos can take forever with a slow Internet connection. How about chatting with friends and family online or using a VOIP phone to talk to them? If you're chatting and calling on a slow Internet connection then you probably have to deal with dropped calls and interrupted chats. But if you use a reliable, fast Internet service like the Verizon FiOS service you won't have those problems.
