PARKSIDE — Although Verizon service is not yet available in this borough, the communications company is already hard at work trying to enlist new customers.
While lines are being laid and junction boxes installed, Verizon is conducting a door-to-door campaign to introduce Parkside residents to FIOS fiber optic service as an option to Comcast cable.
Having two communications companies competing for Parkside customers is seen as a good thing for borough residents.
The borough has no official preference as to which company is chosen, since both Verizon and Comcast have non-exclusive franchise contracts, wherein the borough receives 5 percent of the revenue generated by Parkside customers.
