On March
26th, Verizon installed their triple play (Phone, Internet, and TV) in my home. I am documenting the install, as I am sure
others who are waiting for their install date are curious of what it entails.
I would also
like to highlight the professionalism of everyone at Verizon. I have been overly pleased with my customer service from the
initial sales person through the outstanding installation from the technicians.
FiOS is a fiber to the premises (FTTP) telecommunications service offered in the United States by Verizon. According to Verizon's Trademark (No. 3001081), "Fios" is an Irish word for "knowledge". In mailings to New Jersey customers, however, Verizon states that it stands for "fiber-optic service." Verizon has attracted consumer and media attention
in the area of broadbandInternet access as the first major U.S. carrier to offer such a service. Verizon has also launched a television service with its fiber optic lines and is expected to become a competitor to local cable television companies over the next 10 years. It will compete with current Triple Play offers, where the local cable company offers broadband Internet access, digital cable (see List of Verizon FiOS channels), and VoIP telephone service.
