FiOS ONT installed in Massapequa, NY

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 a Gaelic word for "knowledge". Verizon has attracted consumer and media attention in the area of broadband Internet access, as the first major U.S. carrier to offer such a service. Verizon is also developing a television service with its fiber optic lines, and is expected to become a major competition of 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, and VoIP telephone service. FiOS started as a pilot program in Keller, Texas, but is now expanding to other places.

Building for the future

Verizon has opted to invest heavily in a fiber infrastructure, betting that its competitors will shy away from such an expensive and risky investment. The strategy seems to hinge upon a higher quality, higher capability network, contrasting with lower prices offered by competitors.

Part of Verizon's strategy is to compete with cable television by partnering with content providers to provide content through its fiber optic service, available in limited areas since late 2005. Coaxial cable is often used to transmit cable television into the house. ...

Service offering

Internet Access

There are three tiers of residential Internet service:

• 5 Mbit/s Downstream/2 Mbit/s Up Price: $34.95 or $39.95/month
• 15 Mbit/s Downstream/2Mbit/s Up Price: $44.95 or $49.95/month
• 30 Mbit/s Downstream/5 Mbit/s Up Price: $179.95 or $199.95/month (Verizon offers this tier at $59.95 or $54.95 in some areas.)

Please note that monthly prices can be lower if one commits to a one-year contract. Furthermore, prices are lower if bundled with a Verizon calling package. Typically, a consumer with existing Verizon phone service will receive $5 off his or her monthly FiOS bill. Employees and retirees of Verizon companies who live in FiOS-qualified areas can receive the 15 Mbit/s downstream residential service for $39.95/month. [1]. Port 80 inbound is blocked; however, port 25 inbound and outbound seem to be open at this time. [2] [3]

Though not widely advertised, business service is available in some areas, with static IP addresses and no blocked ports. For example, the business version of the 15/down 2/up with 5 IP addresses is $99/month in Massachusetts.

Speed has recently been increased in the Tri-State Region where there is stiff competition. The new speeds bump the lower tier service to 10 Mbit/s Downstream/2 Mbit/s Up for the same $39.95/month, and the second tier to 20 Mbit/s Downstream/5 Mbit/s Up for $44.95/month.^[1] New York City, showing the Five Boroughs (red) and the approximate area of the Tri-State Region (yellow) The Tri-State Region is commonly used in the area surrounding New York City to unambiguously refer to the greater metropolitan area. ...

Television (FiOS TV)

Verizon is currently building a fiber-optic television service, and plans to make it available to several suburban areas in the near future. However, they first must receive legal permission (in the form of a franchise agreement), and must fight the pressure that local cable companies place on local governments to block Verizon's television service. On September 22, 2005, Verizon began taking orders for FiOS TV in Keller, Texas and in Herndon, Virginia on November 21, 2005 [4]. This article is about law in society. ...

Telephone

Verizon also offers analog plain-old telephone service, or POTS, over FiOS. The common model optical network terminal has 4 analog phone jacks. For residential installations, Verizon generally requires any existing analog phone lines to be "cut over" to FiOS. Note that this is a permanent modification: once converted to fiber, one can never again go back to DSL service as the copper line is made inactive (and in some cases removed). Verizon's justification for this is that installations cost them over $500 per home, and they do not want to make that investment twice. The pricing of POTS over FiOS is identical to POTS over traditional copper, no differences exist billing wise. The same packages and rates and deals are availble on FiOS POTS and copper wire POTS.

While FiOS phone service offers excellent audio quality compared to standard copper phone lines, customers should be aware that power outages may affect service availability. Unlike standard phone lines, the FiOS service depends on power at the customer premises. The FiOS backup battery will power the phone lines for 4-8 hours (reports vary). This may be an issue for sites that experience extended power outages that depend on analog phone lines for remote monitoring, alarm systems, and/or emergency calls. However, while running on the backup battery, the video stream and internet stream are disabled to conserve power for emergency dial tone use.

Technology

Verizon is constructing a passive optical network. Optical fiber extends from central offices to unpowered hubs, in which the fiber is optically split up to 32-ways. A Passive Optical Network (PON) is a point-to-multipoint, fiber to the premises network architecture in which unpowered optical splitters are used to enable a single optical fiber to serve multiple premises, typically 32. ...
