Mount Airy, MD | Verizon Adopting Similar Strategy? I think Verizon is doing the same thing and I think it is for the same reason. Even though we hear about a "freeze" on FIOS deployments I can tell you, and you can go confirm on Verizon's on website, that they have made a new push into more rural parts of Maryland (including where I live... yay!)

I can't speak for other states of course, but I am just saying that I don't think fiber upgrades are completely stopped.

| NICE... I'm in Cecil, and I don't expect to see any upgrades here for the next 5 years. Sucks because I've checked the construction schedule for the past 3 years, and every month its the same thing(nothing for us).
I honestly cant imagine how bad the copper lines to my neighborhood since they were orig installed back in the 60's, and lines are knocked down by trees at least a dozen times a year. The sheer # of splices would be mind boggling over the past 50 years |

Mount Airy, MD | It seems like they are going based on population. I noticed that for awhile, they were working in Montgomery, PG, Baltimore County, Baltimore City, Anne Arundel, and then Howard counties. Those are the largest counties in MD by population. Then they moved into Harford county for awhile. Now they're in Frederick and Carroll counties.
Sadly Cecil county is way down on that list.

I was just noticing how far out into the boonies near Annapolis FiOS was available last weekend when I was over there... Wow, Vz really just wants to be an East coast company... |

Somehow, only Maryland has that construction page for FIOS.
I tried looking at other states (e.g. California), and they don't have such a page. |

Wasn't CA one of the states that went to Frontier? |

PA used to have a FiOS construction page but Verizon stopped updating it before it disappeared entirely. |

Yeah Cecil is spread out. The county just redid their Franchise agreements which were last updated in 1996, so that may assist. Ultimately my contact with Verizon upper management resulted in being told cecil is last on their list, with my community being probably the last of the county projects so that pipedream went away. |

No. Frontier did take California exchanges like Crescent City which were already part of Verizon's Northwest region. The SoCal suburbs however stayed with Verizon. |

Canonsburg, PA | You're right, I have to check out a couple streets on the list to see if anything is really going on there. |

Checked out the three streets on the list for my town. While most of the homes in that subdivision are existing (but less than 10 years old) the real reason for the fiber seems to be some new home ("greenfield") construction. |

I'm struggling to find places on that list that are rural.
Elkridge?
Bowie?
Silver Spring?
Gaithersburg?
Aberdeen?
Randallstown? |
