About FiOS

FiOS Facts

Verizon's FiOS TV, the future of television, is available now in select communities. FiOS TV offers a competitive alternative to cable or satellite TV. Customers can buy FiOS TV as a stand alone service or packaged with voice and/or Verizon FiOS Internet Service.

This next-generation technology will have customers watching television in a whole new light. Fiber delivers sharper pictures and sound, and has the capacity to transmit a wide array of high-definition programming (HDTV) that is so clear and intense that it seems to leap from the TV screen.

Verizon's network design includes backup facilities not common to traditional cable systems, such as duplicate "head ends" where the TV service receives national programming.
