Verizon FiOS Internet is now powering New York City's Bryant Park's wi-fi network.  The installation of Verizon's up-to-50 megabits per second (Mbps) Internet service took place over the past week, according to a press release NYConvergence received from the company. 

The FiOS Internet installation replaces Internet connections that had been provided by another telecommunications carrier and they were selected by the Bryant Park Corporation, the non-profit originally formed to oversee the park's restoration in the 1970s.

The telecommunications company's headquarters was previously located across the street from the park at 1095 Avenue of the Americas.
