Verizon’s FiOS Internet offering is now available in parts of Brooklyn, N.Y. The service is already up and running in other New York City boroughs, as well as throughout the state.

The Internet service will reach parts of Brooklyn’s Canarsie, Mill Basin, Georgetown and Bergen Beach communities. As of the end of Q2, Verizon had 1.1 million FiOS Internet subscribers.
 
And residents of Garden City, N.Y. - a Long Island community - now have access to Verizon’s FiOS TV service. As of the end of Q2, Verizon had 515,000 FiOS TV subscribers.

Also, Verizon introduced FiOS TV’s interactive media guide to its customers in Maryland and Virginia. The guide - available to FiOS TV subscribers in parts of Indiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Rhode Island - allows users to navigate through TV listings, VOD catalogues and DVR libraries, as well as personal music and photos. Future versions of the guide will add Internet radio, videos, podcasts and games to the FiOS TV multimedia platform, the company said.
