Verizon FiOS (FYE-ose) is the new suite of fiber-optic services over FTTP, an advanced fiber-optic technology that is used to connect a home or business directly to Verizon's network. Fiber-optic systems use strands of glass fiber and laser-generated pulses of light to transmit voice, data and video signals at speeds and capacities far exceeding today's systems. This new network will have greater reliability and lower maintenance costs. By deploying fiber to homes and businesses in our territory, Verizon is reinventing its wireline business.
Verizon FiOS customers now have an enhanced digital phone service - FiOS Digital Voice - to go with the ultimate broadband and home-entertainment experience.
Designed specifically for Verizon's advanced all-fiber-optic network, with a brilliantly clear sound quality, FiOS Digital Voice has 21 industry-leading features including live voice-mail screening, an advanced online call manager and Caller ID on TV. Many of these features are not available with the traditional Freedom Essentials voice service.
The nation's fastest consumer broadband connections - with download speeds up to 150 megabits per second (Mbps) and upload speeds up to 35 Mbps - are now available to more than 12 million homes and businesses.
Verizon FiOS enables customers to do more with the Internet than ever before, such as download purchased digital movies in a flash, play online games at lightning speeds, share large photo files, and video chat with friends and family. Work-at-home customers will enjoy speeds comparable to their office environment.
With FiOS, Verizon offers superior broadband speeds at very competitive prices along with Verizon's existing wireline and wireless, local and long-distance telephony services - and finally, a new choice for cable TV: Verizon FiOS TV.
