What's the difference between FiOS and Standard services?
From the blazing speed and crystal clarity of the 100% fiber optic FiOS® network to the proven reliability of our standard services, Verizon provides TV, Internet and phone products that will exceed your expectations today—and continue to delight you down the road.
FiOS
FiOS is Verizon’s newest service. Verizon FiOS TV, FiOS Internet and FiOS Digital Phone services run on a sophisticated network of 100% fiber-optic designed to enhance speed and clarity so you can enjoy the fastest Internet in the U.S. and TV with the best HD picture quality.
Standard
Standard Verizon Internet and Standard Phone services run on a copper wire network and utilize dependable DSL Internet technology offering top-rated reliability at an affordable price offering. For TV, we've partnered with DIRECTV®, to bring you the highest-quality satellite TV with an impressive lineup of HD channels.
Because not all Verizon services are offered in all areas, you’ll want to check availability before making any decisions. Here’s the good news: No matter what type of TV, Internet or phone plan you choose, one thing will stay the same. You can trust Verizon to consistently deliver the speed, quality and network reliability you need to stay connected to your world.
