Verizon Customers in Tampa Have a Choice for TV Service

More than 40,000 households here can now get Verizon FiOS TV, with amazingly sharp pictures and sound and offering a true choice for subscription television and On Demand programming, via the company’s all-digital, fiber-optic network. Verizon is the only company to offer such a communications network all the way to customers in millions of homes and offices across the country. Verizon began taking orders for its fiber-optic TV services today, following the Tampa City Council’s unanimous decision on May 11 to grant the company a franchise to provide television services in the city.

The communities where FiOS TV will be available in this initial offering are Beach Park, Seminole, Hyde Park, Sulphur Springs, Bayshore Beautiful, Palma Ceia, New Tampa and areas of the city served by Verizon around the University of South Florida and Temple Terrace. In the months ahead, Verizon will expand FiOS TV’s availability to more households in Tampa.

“Today, Tampa’s residents join in the Verizon fiber technology revolution and enter a world where they have choice, competition and the value that it creates,” said Alan Ciamporcero, Verizon’s Southeast region president. “No longer will consumers be at the mercy of a single cable TV company. They’ll have Verizon FiOS TV.”
