For a service who’s value might not be immediately clear to many, this particular FIOS commercial goes beyond the usual monetary value + HD channels-focused differentiation and highlights the user experience.

It does an excellent job of showing people what about the FIOS interface (and service) is interesting by showing you (the ad viewer) exactly what future you (the user) would see on their TV if you had FIOS. The ad also made me (yet again) go check to see if FIOS is available in Park Slope yet (it isn’t). Well done, Verizon. Go here to check for yourself.

Until Verizon gets an official copy up online somewhere, here’s a capture I grabbed with my digicam. Sorry for the crappy sound:

Disclaimer: It would be a real shame if this turned out to be an approximation/demo of what the interface is. If that’s the case, then the joke’s on me.

  • it's legit.

    That's the interface - just sped up a bit.

    I'm a very happy Fios user who loves the fact that they continue add new features month after month.
