Verizon Debuts Fiber Net Plan

Via Red Herring.

No. 1 U.S. phone company Verizon Communications and search engine Yahoo rolled out a co-branded fiber optic Internet service Thursday as they seek to better compete with the broadband offerings of cable companies by promising faster downloads of music and video.

The network uses fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) technology to provide speedier broadband connections to subscribers. Called “Verizon Yahoo for FiOS,” the service is available in 15 states: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, and Virginia.
