Verizon Launches FiOS TV in Oregon

Verizon today announced the launch of its industry-leading FiOS TV service in the greater Portland area. With the launch of its video service in Oregon, Verizon now offers FiOS TV in 13 states.

The launch of FiOS TV in the state makes a broad range of programming choices and superior picture quality available to 152,000 Oregon households initially, representing 410,000 potential viewers, where FiOS voice and Internet service are already available.

With the immediate availability of FiOS TV to customers in Aloha, Beaverton, Cornelius, Dundee, Durham, Hillsboro, King City, McMinnville, Newberg, Tigard, Tualatin and Wilsonville (and Forest Grove and Sherwood later this month), Verizon intends to compete even more aggressively against the local cable provider for customers.

In Oregon, a franchise agreement with the Metropolitan Area Communications Commission (MACC) set the stage for approval by 10 cities in Washington County and the county itself. Additional TV franchises have been approved in Dundee, McMinnville, Newberg and Wilsonville.

Portland area residents who are FiOS TV-eligible now have the option to trim their monthly bills by bundling FiOS TV service, FiOS Internet service and the Verizon Freedom Essentials unlimited calling plan, all for as low as $104.99 a month when ordering a two-year plan. A la carte and one-year plans are also available.
