Boston City Councilor Matt O’Malley, who represents the Jamaica Plain and West Roxbury neighborhoods, says it’s time to do away with Comcast and bring Verzion Fios into the City.

At a City Council Meeting Wednesday, O’Malley made a push to make Fios available to Boston residents.

O’Malley said he has “seen his constituents ‘literally chase down’ a passing Verizon truck to ask when the company was going to bring its Internet service to Boston,” UniversalHub reports.

Dedham Selectman Brendan Keogh, who is also a Verizon worker, was at the meeting and is willing to work to bring Fios to Boston, according to O’Malley.

Other councilors argued the lack of service providers in Boston is socially unjust.
