Meeting Date of 5/20!

How about including the meeting date of 5/20! It's in the AP story:

The agreement must be approved by the city's Franchise and Concession Review Committee, which scheduled a public hearing for May 20.

1st step of a long process!

FiOS is more gooder than TwC

I signed up last week in Rosedale, Queens and I'm lovin it, but it would be nice if they hurried up with the FIOSTV so I can ditch Directv already.

But I'm afraid once all is said and done, not only will all of NYC have FiOS, our bills will double as well. Talk about a FiOS monopoly...

Only $259.95 a month!*

*If you also sign up for other forced bundling services, otherwise normal rate ($329.99) applies.

Re: FiOS is more gooder than TwC

This most likely will not mean lower rates at all, especially with the recent price increases Verizon has rolled out. It's a nice theory to challenge TWC but I still don't think the consumer will win out in the end.

I wonder

Did NYC check to make sure Verizon didn't have their fingers crossed when they said 100% or did they say it with an asterisk??

Is this before or after

Verizon ponies up the billions Pennsylvania gave to them to wire up the state?

define "100%"

I'm guessing verizon has (or will have) their own special definition of 100% by the time 2014 rolls around.

I mean really. Who gives a big RATS a$$? Now, if they said all 10 markets (or whatever ever the small number is, I pulled 1o out of my rear) they are deployed in, then it might just get back page press.

And we know how all that worked out.

Ha, ha, then TWC will up their speeds to 100+megs and we won't need to switch and will probably be cheaper too!!

You got your coverage years ago. If you call up Verizon right now and order a T3, will they give it to you or say no (regardless of price)?

Verizon did wire PA. All you have to do it call up and order a T3 and you will get your fiber service.

Re: WGAS

28% of Verizon customers can get FIOS. »Re: haha

FIOS is not an employee only or trial of 20 customers. Its real. 28% is a very large amount of work Verizon did.

TWC wil gladly accept Verizon DSL subscribers hungry for speed and reliable network. DSL in NYC degraded.
