Verizon Launches FiOS TV Service
in Spotsylvania County, Virginia
New Service Provides Choice and Greater Value for Consumers
FREDERICKSBURG, Va. Verizon today began offering its FiOS TV service to consumers in parts of the Lee Hill district of Spotsylvania County, offering amazingly sharp pictures and sound and a true choice for subscription television and on-demand programming via the companys all-digital, fiber-optic network. Verizon is the first company to offer such a communications network, connecting homes and businesses directly to fiber optics on a widespread scale.
The companys FiOS TV launch comes just one week after the Oct. 24 unanimous vote by the Spotsylvania County Board of Supervisors to grant Verizon a cable franchise. In addition to Spotsylvania County, Verizon offers its FiOS TV service in many northern Virginia municipalities where cable franchises have been approved.
FiOS TV now is available in parts of the following developments: Breckenridge, Carriage Hill, Fox Pointe, Lees Crossing, Lees Parke, Meadows and Mill Garden. The company will expand the availability of the service in the county as it upgrades to all fiber optics.
Today, residents of Spotsylvania County will begin to have an outstanding, superior choice for their video entertainment, said Robert W. Woltz Jr., president of Verizon Virginia. No longer will customers be at the mercy of a single cable-TV company. Theyll have Verizon FiOS TV.
Customers who liked what FiOS did for their Internet connection will love what it does for their TV. Weve harnessed the speed and capacity of fiber-based broadband with the power of broadcast to create a revolutionary, new entertainment experience, said Woltz.
Eligible consumers have the option to trim their monthly bill by bundling FiOS TV service, FiOS Internet Service and the Verizon Freedom Value unlimited calling plan all for under $105 a month.
Service highlights include:
* A broad collection of all-digital programming and compelling consumer choice.
* An initial service package of nearly 200 digital video and music channels for $39.95 a month, or $34.95 when combined with high-speed Internet service or a qualifying voice plan. Customers who want just the FiOS TV package and agree to take it for a year do not have to pay the $3.95 per month fee for one standard-definition set-top box, or they can choose instead to receive a $5 monthly discount on the Movie Package.
* Two dozen high-definition (HD) channels, with extraordinary clarity and theater-quality sound.
* Approximately 3,000 on-demand titles available to customers now, increasing to over 3,500 titles in the next several months.
* Channels grouped by programming genres such as entertainment, sports, news, shopping, movies and family entertainment, making it easy for audiences to find their favorite programming.
* An easy-to-use interactive programming guide that integrates HD programming, on-demand content and the digital video recorder along with broadcast television into a seamless user experience.
* A dual-tuner, HD-capable digital video recorder (DVR) that gives customers the freedom to pause and rewind live TV, record two shows simultaneously, and fast forward to their favorite part of the program all without a VCR, tapes or DVDs.
* Home Media DVR, an optional service featuring a multi-room DVR that enables up to three simultaneous viewings of programs recorded by the device without requiring customers to set up a complex home network or buy extra equipment; Home Media DVR is bundled with Media Manager, which lets customers access photos and music from their personal computer and play them on their entertainment center.
* FiOS TV Widgets, a free interactive feature that provides local weather and traffic information.
Information on packages and prices is available now at HYPERLINK "http://www.verizonfios.com/tv" www.verizonfios.com/tv. Customers also can call 1-800-880-2941 to see if they are able to order FiOS TV.
In addition to Virginia, FiOS TV is also available to customers in parts of six other states: California, Florida, Massachusetts, Maryland, New York and Texas. The company has video franchises covering approximately 3.6 million households in nine states and more than 190 franchise areas. As the fiber network is fully deployed in franchise areas, Verizon will provide consumers with the opportunity to choose FiOS TV.
Verizons FiOS TV is designed to be a formidable competitor to cable and satellite. It is delivered over Verizons fiber-to-the-premises network, which delivers amazingly sharp pictures and sound, and has the capacity to transmit a wide array of high-definition programming that is so clear and intense it seems to leap from the TV screen. In addition to FiOS TV, Verizons fiber network also allows the company to offer consumers and businesses high-speed FiOS Internet Service, which is currently available in many Virginia communities.
Programming choices for Hispanic, African-American, Asian, Russian and other multicultural audiences are available in every market. Because FiOS TV has so much capacity, it is an outlet for emerging and independent networks to showcase their diverse programming.
(More information about FiOS TV and fiber optics is available in Verizons online News Center at HYPERLINK "http://www.verizon.com/news" www.verizon.com/news.)
