yea. i just wish they would work on putting stuff out to people who dont have anything but dialup instead of just piling 10,000 options on people in urban areas.

'virtually no signal loss".....just what do they consider virtually? And does the amount of bends dictate how much potential virual loss?

Nice breakthrough though, maybe someday ATT with get their head out of their arse and deploy it in the midwest!

Providing service to people in the middle of nowhere is expensive. Consider moving.

Move if you don't like your options... It's a free country and Verizon is free to do as they please. They aren't the government, therefore you don't have a right to FIOS... It's a product they want to make MONEY off of.

We are all entitled to things that better our lives, and "promote the general welfare", not just those who can afford it, or who happen to live near whatever it is everybody else wants-ie.food, water, etc.

As long as the light is reflected within the cable, you won't have signal loss. It seems they have figured out how to do that, so there really isn't much that can go wrong... Fiber Optics really is a simple technology used for such a high tech purpose.
