Fios service will bring high-speed Internet to nine states by the end of the year.
Verizon Communications is scheduled to launch its fiber-based broadband service, offering up to 30 mebabits per second to homes and small businesses and starting at a monthly rate of $34.95, the company has announced.

The FTTP (fiber to the premises) service, called Fios, will become available in August to about 100,000 customers in the Dallas area, company spokesman Eric Rabe said. That includes a Keller, Texas, fiber deployment that was announced in May. The service also will become available in two other U.S. locations this year, and Verizon intends to lay fiber past 1 million U.S. homes and businesses in nine states by the end of the year.
