VoIP SharpTelco.ComGet VoIP Information and Compare VoIP Plans October 12 Verizon GPON wins Telephony Award!As we continue to see advances in Broadband Availability and connection speeds available to consumers and business customers, VoIP is here to stay and will be the standard for voice communication for home and business applications.
NEW YORK - Verizon's aggressive deployment of the most powerful fiber-optic transmission technology in use today, supporting services over its fiber-to-the-home network, has earned the company a Telephony Magazine Innovation Award. The award was presented today.
In accepting the award, Verizon announced that by year-end it will deploy the transmission technology - known as the gigabit passive optical network, or GPON - to nearly 200 of the company's switching centers serving 3.3 million potential customers. GPON, which Verizon began deploying in December 2007, is capable of delivering broadband services at 2.4 gigabits per second (Gbps) downstream and 1.2 Gbps upstream, further improving on the market-dominating speeds of Broadband Passive Optical Network (BPON) technology already deployed by Verizon. Mark Wegleitner, senior vice president of technology for Verizon, said, "The Telephony innovation award is a gratifying acknowledgement of what has been our fiber-to-the-home strategy from the start: To make aggressive technology choices that can provide forward-looking end-user services and a strong competitive advantage in the marketplace. We thank Telephony Magazine for this recognition. "GPON enables the kind of customer experience we believe the exploding broadband and entertainment markets require, both today and tomorrow," he said. "Both GPON and BPON deliver the kind of reliable, high-capacity service our customers want from our FiOS products." Verizon FiOS TV over 1 Million SubscibersVerizon Communications already has more than 1 million TV customers via its FiOS service, making it the 10th-largest multichannel video service provider in the nation, said the No. 2 U.S. telecom giant.
The company's FiOS TV video service, which competes with cable and satellite TV providers, added 226,000 net customers in the fourth quarter, finishing 2007 with 943,000 total subscribers. For the full year, the company added 736,000 FiOS TV users. One million subscribers and counting can't be wrong. Verizon's Premier Television service is for real and offers exceptional value and awesome picture quality for today's discriminating HD TV viewer.

January 22 G-PON Takes FiOS to Warp SpeedWhat this means is that the nation’s fastest network—Verizon FiOS—is getting far faster. Already, broadband passive optical network (B-PON) delivers up to 100 megabits per second (Mbps). Now, gigabit passive optical network (G-PON) electronics will increase speeds by up to four times downstream and eight times upstream in 38 communities in parts of nine states—as we transition to using G-PON in all new fiber network construction. G-PON's additional bandwidth will accommodate industry forecasts for phenomenal growth in bandwidth demand. January 10 Verizon FiOS Ratings in Consumer ReportConsumer Report Rates Verizon FiOS #1 in Internet, TV and Phone Service
In the February 2008 issue of Consumer Report, ratings for Verizon FiOS phone, Internet and TV were all in the very satisfied range. Verizon was the only provider to score in the 80s or "very satisfied" range. Once again the Verizon FiOS offering is validated as providing terrific value and advanced, reliable high speed services over a state of the art fiber optic network. |
