Not so well.
I bet VZ hammered them on price so badly Tellabs wasn't making money! |

More upgrades to existing FiOS customers, when I still can't get it where I live!
I am getting hopeful though, I noticed all the utilities are marking out their underground runs in my neighborhood, and a few months back I thought I saw Verizon trucks putting fiber up on poles along a main road just outside of the neighborhood.

I thought your area had service, but I guess it wasn't in your area?
Nothing is in this county at all, although a recent article in the A.C. Press said that Atlantic and Cape May counties would start to see service next year. Doubtful that includes my area, unfortunately. |

| Tellabs GPON is not so hot...
We're experimenting with it at work as a replacement to our twitchy Calix GPON. So far I've been extremely unimpressed. Anything is better than Calix though; we've had nothing but trouble with their gear.

"All new builds in California, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Texas this year will be GPON."
It's for *NEW* builds. My older BPON technology Fios is staying that way.

Good News For A Change !
Gee, I'm on my SIXTH (#6) (1,2,3,4,5,6) Tellabs ONT in only 2 years. 
Their quality control has been terrible.
When Tellabs #6 eventually dies, I will gladly welcome a nice Motorola or Alcatel unit. 
Sorry to all of the Tellabs fans out there, your experiences may have been different, but I have been through living hell with their equipment.
I am glad to see Verizon parting ways with them.

Yes, only new builds starting this year- when we got FiOS installed here recently, the installer said we were among the first in the country to get GPON, which was neat. (Motorola ONT by the way) |

My older BPON technology Fios is staying that way. Actually, it's just waiting to be upgraded after the greenfield GPON-only builds. GPON is backward-compatible with BPON (so if you have mismatched equipment (BPON at one end and GPON at the other) you'll only see BPON speeds). If you have a CO with only GPON switchgear, but mixed NIDs, they will only need to swap out the BPON NIDs. That could very well be an issue in parts of MD/DE/NJ/NYS (such as the *infamous rural outliers*). |

Well, if you buy a 30M x 5M plan, you get 30M x 5M, whether it's BPon or GPon. The good news is that FiOS users get their bandwidth for the most part, much more than any other ISP can say. I love FiOS. |
