Re: [Speed] Post here about the new 16/1 speeds
Would be helpful if those posting about receiving speed upgrades also post whether FIOS is available in their market.
Not getting my hopes up since Comcast has no competition (speed wise) here in my area.  |

| fios is not available in my area. (i had the post from the OP, 2nd one down)
it's odd though, we had verizon dig up a large portion of our main line for about 2/3 of a 3 year period just to lay fiber optic lines. that only ended 2 years ago, and was only a few blocks from my street.. not sure why we havn't gotten it yet, seeing that we're so close to what seems to be one of their main hubs in the area. |

Got the 16/1 upgrade last month. Too little too late.
I flagged down a Verizon FIOS truck and spoke with the driver. Seemed pretty on top of things.
Here's the scoop...
Fios coming to Caldwell for Xmas, West Caldwell in April.
Then Comcast gets dumped like a HOT POTATO! I don't care what there speeds are! |
