“The cable industry fought hard to keep choice and competition from our New Jersey customers. Despite their efforts, hundreds of thousands of our customers have gladly welcomed FiOS into their homes and have said goodnight to their disco-era cable TV company,” said Dennis Bone, president of Verizon New Jersey.
First launched in New Jersey in Dec. 2006, Verizon’s FiOS TV is now available to 1.9 million residencies in 19 counties. The company is currently offering gift-card incentives to sign up for their triple-play service, combining television, internet and voice services.
