Verizon expands high-speed Fios internet in Western Pennsylvania | News Release

NEW YORK – Verizon is bringing more choice for reliable internet to residents in Western Pennsylvania as it continues to deploy high-speed, fiber optic broadband internet service across the commonwealth. Nearly 1,100 new households and businesses in Washington and Westmoreland counties will have access to Verizon’s Fios network as part of one of the biggest upgrades in our history.

“Verizon is focused on delivering high-speed internet service and the major economic benefits that it can provide, especially in unserved and underserved areas,” said Doug Sullivan, Vice President of Wireline Network Operations-Mid-Atlantic North Region for Verizon. “Our commitment to Pennsylvania continues as we offer residents access to our 100% fiber Fios internet service to fuel how they work, live and play.”

This rural broadband project is built in partnership with the counties and the Federal Communications Commission to deliver fast, fiber broadband service to residents in rural parts of the state. The $9 million expansion in Washington and Westmoreland includes $4.1 million in funding as part of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). More than 130 miles of fiber – roughly the equivalent of running fiber between Pittsburgh and State College, PA – will be deployed in connection with the build.
