Verizon (NYSE: VZ) has launched what it calls that FiOS Quantum Internet. The product runs on its fiber network, which connects millions of homes. Verizon invested $23 billion in this infrastructure as it tries to take market share from large cable companies. Early results are not encouraging. Cable has held its own.
The Quantum Internet product may not have many takers. Its upload and download speeds are so fast that almost no one needs them. The highest level of the service offers 300 Mpbs of download speeds and 65 Mpbs of upload. Verizon says the service will allow consumers to download an HD movie in 2.2 minutes. Impressive, but where is the market for that?
Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?
The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.
Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!
Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
