Verizon will be expanding beyond their $75 Million, 65,000-household initial FIOS plans? Or, does it mean a previously targeted location is getting axed as a result? |

Re: Does this mean ...
you can bet somewhere else got axed. with the addition of mci, now they have even less money to pretend to spend on fios. they have already axed several locations around here, but "they" say the list changes weekly. so stay tuned. |

It makes sense that they can pass alot more homes with a single run of fiber. Business wise, it makes mucho sense, not to mention there is a ton of money in NJ. And that's what Verizon is catering too... |

FIOS is about the only way Verizon is going to get more money out of me at the moment. I'm an Optimum Online subscriber and I'm moving most of my home phone service to Vonage (keeping one line with Verizon since I'm a little paranoid about not having any landline service at all - I might get over it eventually). So, it would be sort of ironic to move phones to broadband but get the broadband from Verizon  |

Don't doubt the power Verizon has running behind it.

1 edit | Sure.
I live in Union County, NJ and I'm 18k+ feet from my CO so I can't get DSL.
They can run new fiber to my house but they can't do anything about my current line length. |
