The dip in FiOS TV growth reflected a dip in FiOS broadband subscribers, adding 187 thousand subscribers in 2Q08 giving a total of 1.974 million FiOS broadband subscribers. This is the first time that the quarterly growth in FiOS broadband subscribers was below 200 thousand since 1Q07. Verizon exceeded 2 million FiOS broadband subscribers in July 2008. FiOS penetration was 23.5 percent at the end of the quarter. Its FiOS ARPU is not more than $130. FiOS broadband is available for sail to 8.4 million homes and passes 11 million homes.
Verizon has made the following changes to its FiOS service recently:
- It will launch FiOS in New York City
- It offers a 50 Mbps downstream/20 Mbps upstream service to its entire FiOS footprint
- It offers more than 100 HD channels

"FiOS is available for sale to 7 million homes and passes 9.6 million homes."
What is the difference between "for sale" homes and "home passed" homes? Why don't Verizon sell to all homes passed?
There is typically a delay between when the fiber is installed and when the service is available and when the marketing rollout is performed. You see these lags with both Verizon's FiOS and AT&T's U-verse.
