Fiber-optic cables, which Verizon says carry more information and provide a better signal than copper-wire phone lines, are made of glass and do not conduct electricity. The service uses a home's power source to convert laser-generated light pulses to electrical communications signals.

In 2006, competitors to Verizon FiOS - primarily Cablevision Systems Corp., which recently bought Newsday - and area municipal governments complained to the PSC about how Verizon was rolling out its FiOS infrastructure, state officials said.
