Thank you for your recent inquiry about the availability of FiOS TV in your neighborhood.

We are pleased to inform you that FiOS TV service is available in your neighborhood, but is not yet available in your building. We will begin negotiations to gain access to your building shortly and will inform you as access and construction milestones are reached.

most of the guys building the fiber network are very open and friendly and tell you what they are doing and then you can guess how long it will take for your apartment to get it. I even had one of the Fios guys tell me at my previous job that they were slow because the landlord wanted a better deal then his neighbor and mind you that guy signed a contract 2 years back and his neighboring building owner signed a deal recently and he was bitching because his neighbor got a better deal. Talk about greedy millionares in midtown.

Hey folks as I was leaving the CitiBank in fordham road. I ran into the fios tent and as I was reading i notice. the new 2 year deal heres what you get.

Fios offering its Verizon FIOS Triple Play Service (TV/Internet/Phone) for $89.99/mo for 24 months, no contract required.
If you select the 2yr contract, you will get either a $300 Visa Gift Card via mail-in rebate. OR 2 Years of FREE FIOS Quantum TV Enhanced Service.
This is one of the best FIOS deals we have seen from Verizon. This deal is even hotter as it was previously a $250 Gift Card.
EXTRA BONUS! Get a FREE LG G Pad 8.3 LTE or up to $200 off any Tablet when you order any FIOS Internet or TV Plan. 2yr wireless contract is required.

only issue i have is this part "Bring the certificate to a Verizon Wireless store, activate the tablet on a new 2-year Verizon Wireless line of service and walk out with a new tablet!"

Nothing yet but Verizon did show up today in a white box truck, and it had a black wire running from it to the manhole. The lucky thing is i was able to speak to my building owner and he said, he is willing to let them in because he hates TWC. Yunior did you enter your email in the Verizon Fios site ? Will do Eddy

Hey folks lately I been noticing my super Slow DSL is been having power outages at night time(2-am and on) but during the day is ok. This is getting me suspicious as to what is VZ doing to the copper lines around me. If it is to replace then with Fiber then I'm happy.

I talked with a Verizon technician about two week ago and he said the terminals on the corner of Bedford Park Boulevard and the Grand Concourse are not active yet (which probably explains why it's not available in my building). Unfortunately there's no word on when they'll be turned on.

i spoked to a tech here on 193 and he was getting ready to install fios and he told me fios was all over 193 all the way to 196. he only knew this streets because they are dividing tech by blocks so they know which section is light up. He said my building is not been served because the landlord decision. I hope they choose yes to Fios.

Fiber splicing. That cube truck is a fiber splicing truck.

You can see the black fiber cable coming into the back of the truck (next to the rear door is a little porthole door)....The techs pull the fiber slack out of the ground to splice it in the back of the truck. It's too difficult to splice it in the manholes....

Awesome, thanks for the quick response. Makes sense the tech would go down come up stay in the truck for a while and go back down again.
