Verizon is bringing the most advanced fiber optic network in the nation directly to the doors of homes in Kingston. Our FiOS network contains enough bandwidth to offer video, Internet and voice services to all Kingston residents in the very near future. However, to take advantage of FiOS TV, in addition to FiOS Internet and phone service, the Board of Selectmen must grant Verizon a cable TV license.  

The Board of Selectmen met to discuss the license on Tuesday, Jan. 20.  They have continued the meeting to further discuss and potentially vote on the license on Tuesday, July 7 at 7:15 p.m. at the Town House, 26 Evergreen St., Kingston. 

Once a license is issued, Kingston residents will join consumers in over 95 other Massachusetts communities that have FiOS TV as a superior choice for cable service.  If you are interested in more cable competition and everything our FiOS technology offers, please send an email directly to the town officials asking them to approve the license. A sample letter is provided for your convenience. For more information, please contact Stephanie Lee at stephanie.s.lee@verizon.com.

Thank you!

Sample Letter for Campaign

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

As a local resident, I am writing to ask the Board of Selectmen to move quickly to bring Kingston consumers another choice for cable TV.

Verizon is building its advanced fiber optic network right here in town. The network, which brings fiber optic TV, Internet and telephone connections right into our living rooms, is the best in the nation. Today, Massachusetts residents in nearly 80 communities are benefiting from cable choice and the future of technology.

Kingston is fortunate to be selected as one of the next communities Verizon is bringing this state-of-the-art network to. Thank you in advance for your leadership in bringing Kingston residents the benefits of cable competition and FiOS. We hope you'll move quickly to approve a license.

Sincerely,

Campaign Launched:
