[[Fi OSFiOS]] is Verizon's fiber-to-the-premises service. It's probably best known on the Internet for being incredibly fast, and for a commercial starring [[Michael Bay]] where he demands things to be [[Stuff Blowing Up|"awesome"]].
 
Originally, [[Fi OSFiOS]] was phone and data only, but they've since added [[Fi OSFiOS]] TV, a full digital cable TV service that competes directly with [[Comcast]] and the satellite companies. The service uses the newer Motorola QIP boxes, instead of the rather antiquated Cisco/Scientific Atlanta boxes Comcast prefers.
 
Like most FTTP services, it's only available in a few places, mostly suburban neighborhoods on the East Coast. Verizon's archrival AT&T has a competing service called U-Verse.
