Television
[edit]Fios TV is one of three services offered by Verizon Fios. Verizon reported 4.6 million Fios TV connections as of the end of 2017.[1] Verizon offers Fios packages with high-definition and standard-definition TV, as well as video on demand.[2] In April 2015, Verizon launched its custom TV packages that allow subscribers to choose between a selection of a smaller number of channels bundled together.[3] By the end of 2015, Custom TV packages accounted for between 30 percent and 40 percent of new Fios TV subscribers.[3][4][5]
Fios TV uses QAM technology to deliver signals to a customer's property using its fiber optic cables.[6] At the home, the optical network terminal turns the signal into a radio frequency signal that can be used on a home's existing coaxial cables, feeding the signal to a set-top box.[6] Fios TV's video on demand and interactive widgets use Internet Protocol technology.[7]
