Go to Verizon website and type in your address. It will tell you what’s available. I can only access internet not Fios tv apparently

I am not sure this will tell you where the new zones are for FiOS as there is no indication that the new zones are actively deployed and released yet (if they are not then this approach does not work). Do you know that it has?

They don’t indicate where the zones are afaik, all they have is a site to type in your address and they will give you what’s available.

/u/sammydee44 is correct - currently the only way is just to plug in your address and see what's available. My address shows as available, I'm in the area of the Flying Rhino between Shrewsbury St and Belmont St. I have to assume it's available for everyone in that area at least.

They're only rolling out internet, no FiOS TV in Worcester. Yet, at least.

Iirc it's because spectrum has exclusivity on being a cable provider. But I believe their current contract ends in 2023.

Interesting timing for FiOS. Wonder if they make a push to get Worcester to end exclusivity so Verizon can Compete with Charter. (Hopefully Verizon doesn't just bid for exclusivity. As much as I don't like Charter I still want competition)

At the end of the day I'd rather a municipal fiber network paid for by the city.
