1 edit | First hand knowledge.... The Verizon techs are working at a very fast pace putting in FIOS in North Kingston and Warwick. Cox has always had a very nice hold on the broadband area there. Verizon's DSL service hasn't done that well. Now Cox is trying to keep folks from jumping over to FIOS.
Rhode Island is a Verizon State. By that I mean Verizon has one of the 3 FIOS call centers in the USA. Verizon, the IBEW, and the State Government are always talking about something. It doesn't hurt Verizon that the Business Manager of the Verizon Technician's Union (IBEW 2323) in Rhode Island is also the chairman of the Rhode Island Board of Examination and Licensing of Telecommunications System Contractors, Technicians and Installers.
Verizon is going through the State legislature to get a State wide franchise for the FIOS television service. |
