A. Download/downstream is typically referring to the downloading of a variety of different types of media files, including music, pictures, Web pages, etc. that you retrieve from the Internet. To upload a file is to upload a file you have probably saved on your PCs hard drive and uploaded to the Internet. With the FiOS Internet, which is much faster than anything we’ve known, thanks to Verizon’s fiber optic network, the uploading and downloading of files is faster than ever.
