Verizon says it’s on pace to grow to add 1M-plus fiber locations per year

Verizon is on the trail of setting a new growth pace for its Fios fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) footprint with its recent announcement that it would purchase Frontier Communications. Frontier’s 2.2 million fiber subscribers across 25 states will join Verizon’s approximately 7.4 million Fios connections in 9 states and Washington, D.C. In addition to Frontier’s 7.2 million fiber locations, the company is committed to building an additional 2.8 million fiber locations by the end of 2026. Verizon is on track to reach about 500,000 premises with fiber by 2024, while Frontier has set a goal of reaching 10 million locations by the end of 2026. Also, in 2025 Verizon is targeting an expansion of our Fios build up to 650,000 premises.
