As someone who is a current customer of Verizon FIOS this is great news for Worcester. I live in one of the neighboring cities but when I play online with friends that live in Worcester, I always hear complaints of a shoddy connection or losing internet often with Spectrum from them.

We used Charter for years and there was ALWAYS outages. Atleast a few times a year. We switched to fios as soon as it came to our neighborhood. I think we have only had a service outage a few times in the last 7 or so years. They were also shortlived

I also worked in a Network Operations Center where we used Spectrum for Business for our remote sites. At least one remote site was down a day in Worcester county alone, but mainly Worcester (the city) itself.
