The new Leominster store is Verizon’s 12th FiOS retail store in Massachusetts. It was opened so that local consumers can experience the many advantages FiOS offers over traditional cable TV services. FiOS is a 100 percent fiber-to-the-home network connection that provides advanced and interactive TV, blazing-fast Internet and crystal-clear telephone service. FiOS TV is available in 112 communities in Massachusetts, including Leominster and Fitchburg.
FiOS customers can also visit the new store to conduct such business as upgrading services, picking up and dropping off equipment, and receiving help from the six new local employees who staff the Leominster store, including manager Deborah Fraser.
“We are just blown over by the warm welcome we have received here in Leominster,” said Fraser. “The hospitality the residents have shown us has been so genuine and so generous. We already feel like part of the community and we’re ready to go to work to show everyone how FiOS can greatly enhance their daily lives.”
