Verizon gears up for even bigger Chesapeake, Virginia FiOS TV rollout
As it stands, Verizon offers its fiber-based cable service to some 6,400 households in the Chesapeake, Virginia area. Soon, however, upwards of 81,000 homes could have access thanks to a unanimous vote by the Chesapeake City Council which blessed the provider with a proper cable franchise. Previously, Verizon was operating in the area under "ordinance franchise rules," but now the coast is clear for "all households in the company's initial service area" to be covered within three years. Unfortunately, we've no idea when the expansion will actually begin, but needless to say, you can start sitting on pins and needles anytime.
Verizon's FiOS TV comes to 3500 homes in Chesapeake, Virginia
Just as soon as AT&T announces that it's bringing U-verse to yet another region, Verizon fires back by trumpeting expansions of its own. The latest on the list is Chesapeake, Virginia, which becomes the newest locale to gain access to Verizon's fiber-based TV service. Apparently, installations are slated to begin anytime, and while we do know that some 3,500 households in a myriad communities will soon be eligible to receive FiOS TV, the actual list is far too long for this space. 'Course, that's why you'll be heading past the break hoping and praying to see your area listed.
