Bring VERIZON FIOS - 5 & 2 GIGA Bit Internet to Silver Spring & Hampden Townships!!

The Petition Goal
We, the residents, business owners, and technology professionals of Silver Spring Township and Hampden Township, Pennsylvania, are formally requesting that Verizon expand its ultra-high-speed Fios 5 and 2 Gig fiber-optic network to our rapidly growing communities.

Why This Matters Now
Our townships represent one of the fastest-growing regions in Pennsylvania, yet our digital infrastructure has not kept pace with our economic reality. We have the built-in demand to immediately support a premium fiber network:

👩‍💻 5,000+ Tech Professionals: Our community is home to thousands of remote workers, software engineers, data analysts, and IT professionals who require symmetrical multi-gigabit speeds, low latency, and rock-solid reliability to work efficiently from home.

🏥 World-Class Institutions: We host critical community pillars like the Penn State Health Hampden Medical Center and Cumberland Valley High School, both of which require elite, future-proof regional bandwidth.

🏢 A Booming Commercial Hub: Major enterprises and retail giants—including Deloitte Delivery Center, Tesla, Costco, Sam’s Club, BJ’s Wholesale, and Wegmans—have chosen our townships for their operations. Our residential infrastructure must mirror this world-class commercial growth.

Our Call to Action
By signing this petition, we are sending a clear, data-backed signal to Verizon’s regional expansion team: The market is here, the demand is urgent, and we are ready to subscribe.

We urge Verizon leadership to prioritize Silver Spring and Hampden Townships for the next phase of FIOS 5 and 2 GIG deployment, and we call upon our local Township Supervisors to cooperate fully in expediting any necessary franchise agreements or right-of-way permits.
