If you live in a suburban neighborhood, you'll get it within 5 years. If you live in a "standout" suburban area like a NYC Suburb, you'll get it in 2 years or less.
I'm not worrying, I got a couple million dollars to buy my own fiber if I wanted. haha.

| Same here, still waiting...and waiting, and waiting...
But I'll at least have something to hold me over in about 1 week. Cox is finally fricken upgrading their speeds in Roanoke, VA to 12 Mpbs/1 Mbps. I was a little disappointed in the upstream upgrade, but the downstream upgrade will kick much ass  | |

Raleigh, NC | plan to open the set top to all the video over the net They're still talking download from Net to PC and then media sharing from PC to DVR right? That is, they're not talking about direct from Net to TV, right? | |

| this can be good, if done RIGHT there would be no real reason to keep the storage part of a "dvr" in the settop anymore.. but the ability of ALL settops to push and pull content is KEY to being "Better" than anything cable-tv has today. Eventually cablecos will jump on the bandwagon... its a matter of time!

All they are doing is trying to keep the investors happy and keep people from hemmoraging away to cable. | |

I have both Fios and RR (cable internet). I can tell you it's no contest. And cable is more expensive here.

| Re: I have it and yet... i have it here in Newtown and the 15/2 speed is as advertised. Only problem was when we lost electricity for several hours. Had to reboot the FIOS by pulling out battery and then putting it back in. Service is stable and support by Verizon has been excellent. Wish i could get it in my office in Ewing Twp, NJ. | |

ask for an NT if need be, a CSR may not see your concern.
Any NT will understand that PPPoE is substandard but they usually have to have a reason to switch it.
A NT should be able to switch you without any issues. (if you have an actiontec, maybe tell them you hate it and you want to use your own linksys but you want to use DHCP or something like that)
IPTV, is a francise problem, bitch at your local gov't for not allowing them to put in video  | |
