Verizon’s New High-Fiber ‘Diet’ for New Jersey: Blazing-Fast Data, Crystal-Clear Voice, Video Capability

Verizon will soon bring to 12 additional communities in New Jersey one of the most significant advancements in telecommunications technology in the past 100 years. The company today announced plans to build a fiber-optic network that will deliver faster data speeds and crystal-clear voice to residence and business customers here – and also has the capability to offer a full suite of video services in the future. The communities are: Asbury Park in Monmouth County; Glen Rock, Hillsdale and Oradell in Bergen County; Monroe Township in Middlesex County; East Windsor and Washington Township in Mercer County; Morristown, Morris Plains and Morris Township in Morris County; and Warren and Bernardsville in Somerset County.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime transformation of the communications network serving New Jersey,” said Dennis M. Bone, president of Verizon New Jersey Inc.

The new network replaces the traditional copper-wire connections and will unleash a range of advanced communication services.
