Verizon customers can experience breathtaking high-speed
Internet access as the company expands its Verizon FiOS (FYE'-ose) suite of Internet services to more Bucks County
communities.
A growing number of residents and small businesses in parts of Langhorne, Hulmeville, Penndel, Chalfont, Dublin, Line
Lexington, Plumsteadville, Warrington, and Hilltown now can order the industry's premier mass-market broadband services.
The company is offering several tiers of service with downstream (download) speeds of up to 5, 15 and 30 Mbps (megabits per
second) and upstream (upload) speeds of up to 5 Mbps.*
In Bucks County, FiOS Internet Service already now is available to some customers in the boroughs of Doylestown, Newtown and
New Britain, and the townships of Buckingham, Doylestown, Lower Makefield, Middleton, Northampton, New Britain, Newtown,
Plumstead and Warwick.
Residential customers who want to determine whether they can order FiOS Internet Service can call 888-GET FIOS
(888-438-3467) or visit Verizon's FiOS Web site at www.verizonfios.com. Small businesses can contact their local Verizon
business office or account manager to determine if they qualify for FiOS Internet Service for Business.
Verizon offers FiOS services over its fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) network, which the company currently is building in more
than half of the states where it offers landline communications services. In addition to parts of Bucks County and other
portions of southeastern Pennsylvania, the company currently is building its FTTP network in the central and western parts
of the state.
FTTP technology utilizes fiber-optic connections - instead of copper wire - directly into homes and businesses to enable a
broad array of voice, data and video applications. In addition to its current FiOS Internet Service, Verizon plans to launch
FiOS TV to compete directly with cable-TV providers. FiOS TV will be available in markets where Verizon has negotiated cable
franchise agreements with local authorities.
