How does Spam Detector work? Spam Detector uses a monitoring system that consists of "dummy" email accounts from many popular email providers. Since these dummy accounts don't have an actual user, they only receive messages that are sent to mass audiences. The Spam Detector team of experts reviews the messages received in these dummy accounts. From their findings, these experts create a set of rules to identify spam. These rules are then applied to all incoming email for @verizon.net accounts. Messages that are determined to be spam are immediately deleted. The rules are constantly adjusted based on the type of spam received in these dummy accounts and through customer input.

Use Spam Detector now.A highway system is a good analogy for how Internet access works. With FiOS, Verizon provides you with a very large and fast onramp from your home to the Internet highway. There may be other traffic on the highway, but everyone moves along at a high speed.

Now imagine the different Web sites you visit as off-ramps and local roads. Each Web site has a different type of road, and has different amounts of traffic on it. So even though the highway can support very fast traffic, congestion may slow you down while trying to get to any given site.

This analogy applies to the FiOS service - Verizon has built a very fast on-ramp for you. You may be able to travel fast, but other factors will impact the speeds you get as you travel to different sites on the Internet.

The illustration below shows the relationship between your connection to the Verizon network, and the relationship between the Verizon network and the Internet in general.
