What We Do: FiOS
Americans are rapidly embracing high-bandwidth services
such as video downloads and photo sharing. As demand
for these new applications continues to rise, Verizon’s fiber-
optic broadband network is uniquely positioned to meet
customers’ growing bandwidth needs for years to come.
Verizon’s fiber-based FiOS Internet service offers customers
ultra-fast broadband connections with current download
speeds up to 50 Mbps (megabits per second) – the fastest
in the market today. In addition, FiOS provides the fastest
available upload speeds, allowing customers to send
photos, videos and other large files.
Our FiOS TV service is a superior alternative to cable
and satellite, offering a broad collection of all-digital
programming, more than 25 high-definition (HD) channels,
and access to more than 8,000 video-on-demand titles.
And because FiOS TV is delivered over Verizon's fiber
network, it provides customers with industry-leading quality
and reliability. The vast bandwidth of fiber allows Verizon's
video network to deliver true high-definition picture and
sound clarity. Greater bandwidth also means that FiOS TV
provides more entertainment options, new revenue growth
opportunities and a superior customer experience.
