User:VZBob/Verizon Fios Telephone
Telephone
[edit]In addition to its TV and Internet services, the company also has a voice over IP service via its fiber-optic network called Fios Digital Voice. The service initially launched in Virginia and Maryland in September 2008 and eventually fully replaced an earlier service, VoiceWing, which Verizon offered from 2004 to early 2009. [1]
While Verizon also offers plain old telephone service (POTS), it has been reported in various markets that Verizon physically disconnected the copper lines for copper-line phone service at the time that Fios was installed.[2]
