ALBANY - Verizon this month reached a deal with state regulators to expand its high-speed internet services in New York and repair its existing telephone infrastructure.

The agreement announced Thursday with the state Public Service Commission means Verizon expects to make its high-speed broadband network available to an additional 47,000 households across the state starting this year.
