Verizon FiOS services are delivered over a fiber-to-the-premises network using passive optical network technology. Verizon FiOS has been expanding aggressively into new areas and continues to provide start of the art top notch internet and TV service.
To serve a home, a single-mode optical fiber extends from an optical line terminal at a FiOS central office or head end out to the neighborhoods where an optical splitter fans out the same signal on up to 32 fibers, thus serving up to 32 subscribers. At the subscriber’s home, an optical network terminal transfers data onto the corresponding copper wiring for phone, video and Internet access.
