Hold Verizon Accountable - FiOS in Every Philly Neighborhood NOW!

Philadelphia City Council

In many neighborhoods of Philadelphia, we have just one choice for broadband and TV service. That means high prices, and no service for many low-income families.  

Verizon got a lucrative contract to serve Philadelphia homes and businesses, in exchange for a promise that every Philly home and business would have the choice of FiOS by February 2015. That deadline has come and gone - and thousand of Philly homes have no competition or choice.

Those who have been able to signup for FiOS have experienced issues with outages, denied repairs and other issues with the service.

Go online now and see if FiOS is available at your address.  It's not? Then make sure City Council hears from consumers - not just from high-paid Verizon executives - on whether or not our city gets the access it was promised.  If you can’t access the service, we want to hear from you.

Here’s what you can do about the problem - in 5 minutes or less.

1. Visit http://www.verizon.com/home/fiosavailability/

2. Click Check availability

3. Put in your address

4. Can’t get service? Sign the petition to City Council now to make sure Verizon doesn’t pass you by.

Are you already subscribed to Verizon and have issues with your service? We want to hear about it. Tell us about your experience in the comment section of the petition.

Verizon should live up to their promise to Philadelphians. As a resident or business owner interested in FiOS for TV and Internet access I ask the City Council of Philadelphia to hold Verizon accountable to their lucrative franchise agreement.

Choice matters - bring FiOS to every resident and business in our city!

I know that choice and competition for TV and Internet service is good for me and my community, but Verizon just passed me by for their FiOS TV and Internet service.

Verizon should live up to their promise to Philadelphians. As a resident or business owner interested in FiOS for TV and Internet access I ask the City Council of Philadelphia to hold Verizon accountable to the franchise agreement to wire every neighborhood. Choice matters - bring FiOS to every resident and business in our city!
