I pay for 200 mbps up and down, but get like 330.

Edit: exactly $39.99 a month with autopay and owning my modem bought from Verizon.

Same here.

200/200 has been replaced with 300/300, and has actually always been provisioned as 300/300. In fact, you should be able to "officially" switch to 300/300 without paying more than you currently are.

Oh, and there's no such thing as a modem in FiOS. The box where the fiber plugs in is the ONT, it does essentially the same thing as a modem, and it remains Verizon's property. It's not rented or sold to customers. What connects to it is a router, not a modem or modem/router.

Cool dude 👍

My bad for accidentally saying "modem" instead of "router." I'm used to Comcast using cable modems. I signed up for Verizon FIOS 7 years ago and it still says 200/200 mbps on my statement. I also bought the Fios Quantum Gateway Router for 3 installments of $149.99, instead of renting the router at the time of purchase. Not sure if that is still an option anymore. Of course you don't own the ONT, but it's still installed on your property and Verizon is not charging you for it either.

I generally don't use Verizon's routers, there are much better options out there, and FiOS works with literally ANY router that doesn't have a built-in modem. Using a third-party router gets a little more complex if you have their TV service, but it's still possible.
