Verizon: Florida, Mass., now has high-speed Internet

Verizon Communications Inc. said that the Western Massachusetts community of Florida now has access to Verizon's high-speed Internet service.

Until this week, Florida was one of 24 Western Massachusetts communities where broadband Internet access had been unavailable, Verizon said.

Verizon added that it is planning to offer the service to the 23 other communities this year.

Headquartered in New York, Verizon delivers broadband and other wireline and wireless services to mass market, business, government, and wholesale customers.
