The folks at Verizon have offered up a status report on FiOS deployment in a post over at their policy blog. According to the company, FiOS now passes (not serves) 8.5 million homes and businesses — and they hope to pass 18 million homes, or half the homes Verizon serves, by 2010. The company says they’ve installed more than 457 million feet of fiber in parts of 16 states.

During the third quarter, Verizon added 202,000 FiOS customers to bring their FiOS total to 1.3 million. Of course, the flip side of that coin is that Verizon DSL growth is slowing. Gone are the quarters where Verizon added 600,000 DSL subscribers at a pop — last quarter Verizon added just 56,000 DSL customers, which reflects a change in priorities as well as an overall slowdown in the market.
