HB Yay!

I'll believe it when I see it though. Some parts of HB don't even have regular DSL deployment yet. Wonder if this is what got us the 5Mb trials from Roadrunner.

Doubting my little town will see Fios anytime soon

Considering we don't even have cable TV here, I seriously doubt FIOS will be coming here anytime soon. I keep being told by the operators on the phone that Verizon plans on getting everyone in NYS FIOS, I have a hard time believing it.

You and users of Bellsouth get everything last. Heck, I remember when 3mb became the standard, we were last to get it, even charter beat us

I am close

I have the orange conduit tube sticking out of the ground in front of my house. I stare at it everyday, all day, waiting for it to move.

Man, I can't wait!

I also wonder what it costs to deploy such fiber networks? Doing so would certainly have to have some sort of justification. Do they just target the areas that have a high percentage of broadband users or a high area of competition?

most of us are much more interrested in another speed upgrade ie them making 3/768 the default tier for 30 a month. fiber I could care less...that's a decade away.

Oh Hello...

Mr. Alan R. Shark, do you have heart burn, is your BPL stock tanking looking at the Verizon list and seeing more potential BPL suckers gone. Each new installation is like a Holly stake in BPL's heart:D:D:D:D:):)

"Arlington, Fairfax and Loudoun counties, as well as the communities of Falls Church, Leesburg and Herndon in Virginia"

It depends, incomes in these areas are all over the place. I have Verizon DSL in Fairfax County up until the last upgrade past me by. 768/128 just wasn't cutting it anymore so I went to Cox. Now if Verizon will roll out FIOS I may consider switching back.

How can you say fiber is a decade away with users already on it in certain Verizon communities?

Re: Income levels

Way above the national average. They appear to be all of the wealthy suberbs of the big metro cities on first glance.

Major cities like NYC appear to not be on that list.

There are many new areas coming online that will be in the next phase as per the jobs that Verizon is hiring for. However it likely will be months away from now till they actually deploy.

I see hirings in Queens in Hollis and College Point. Also hirings in New York city, however those say it can be either Brooklyn, Staten Island or Manhattan. The hiring locations are from the Central Office. In some areas, a CO can serve multiple towns. Also tons of hiring for areas around the country as well.

Hopefully my town in queens will come online by year end 2005.
