I don't have enough cash for 20/20. I'm locked into Dish right now (and the phone is under my mom's name, and it's her line anyway). As I said, I only ordered 10/2 data only (no bundle). 10/2 with no phone service is $50/month ($10 more than my DSL) and 20/20 is $70/month.

10/2? I would have gone with 20/20

Did you get the triple play package? If so how do you save from cablevision, and how much extra would the 20/20 have been?

All right folks, I have it installed (Data only - 10/2). My FiOS tech has informed me that I'm customer number one in this area (so bragging rights forever for me). I will post a review later on.

Any word about Verizon's discussions with Coop City about offering FIOS over there?

After 4 years of waiting, I was finally able to order service. No installation date yet (need to verify information over the phone), but I submitted the order online. Of course, the zip is 10461.

Which part is not true?

I hope the part that is true is "she said the bronx has been a priority as of late"
The nonsense about having to have 10 people to sign up to get the service. Complete garbage.

Being a cab driver I guess got me lucky lolz.

The other night I picked up a rather upset yet nice FiOS field tech.

She informed me that all the CO's are wired for FiOS and if you want FiOS on your block you have to have 10 current Verizon customers call up and ask for it to be installed on your block.

She said the bronx has been a priority as of late.

Heh could of fooled me though
That is not true, not by a long shot.

I'm also waiting on FiOS in 10463 but last I heard the Riverdale/Kingsbridge area would be the last to receive FiOS in the Bronx.
Unfortunately this is true. A Verizon technician confirmed it last year when I asked him about Fios deployments. He said they were deploying in densely populated areas first. I guess the east side has more folks than the west side but you wouldn't know it by the crowds on the 4 and D trains.

I just came off the phone with a FiOS rep and he said that he's going to put in an engineering request on my address to make sure Verizon hasn't made a mistake. However, when I put in a request a couple of months ago, they never called me back. So, I don't expect this to get very far...

Hey why not ask the company responsible about. Tell then that you want to get Fios and several of your neighbors(well talk to then first..lol) and then tell then you guys want Fios. They can't reject it completely(sad I know) since VZ provides 90% of the phone lines in the city. So go for it...FIOS FOR THE WORLD!!

Yes according to the installer that came to my home said MDU apartment buildings are getting wired but only if the owner of said building agrees
so how does affect all of nyc being wired by 2014, eventually they will have to wire all building but i guess buildings like mine will have to wait till the end.
No, it does not mean you have to wait. It means they may not have approached your building owner or perhaps they have and he has not yet agreed. Speak to your super and see what has been done so far.
my building has gone through about 3 supers in about 4 years. next time i see some of the people above him i'll ask but they they show up once in awhile.
