Verizon to Open FIOS Customer Service Center in Virginia

Verizon will open a new customer service center in Hampton, Virginia support consumers and business customers who purchase new broadband products -- known as FiOS services -- over Verizon's new FTTP network. The new customer service center will create at least 100 new jobs by January. When it is fully staffed over the next two to three years, the new center could employ as many as 500 people. Verizon has already opened a similar customer service center in the Dallas-Forth Worth area.



Verizon earlier this year began selling FiOS broadband Internet access services to consumers served by its new FTTP network in parts of California, Florida and Texas. The company has begun building an FTTP network in six East Coast states and plans to begin general marketing of FiOS products in these states early next year. http://www.verizon.com/fiberjobs
