Spoecific regions of each city?

reply to stunod2002
I'm in Los Angeles, and I know it won't be coming to anywhere but a wealthy neighborhood, like Playa Vista or Pasadena. All the other so called "poor" areas won't get anything, I have to continue to suffer with my crappy 1 meg connection.

If you don't already see a new VRAD pedestal within 5,000 feet of your home -- your not in the first round.

Yeah, because that is where they make the most money?? Employees who generally get a discount!! Intelligent!

I doubt you're going to find many phone operators living in San Francisco. Average home price is 800k. 1 Bd apts go for 2k/month. San Jose is filled with illegal immigrants living 15 to a house.

In theory, its coming to Santa Clarita (including the 'poor' areas of Newhall/Saugus).
I personally think they'll target areas where people subscribe to cable/satellite. In neighborhoods in the San Fernando Valley , many use a decent pair of rabbit ears and don't have to shovel $$$ to cable or satellite.

I think they're trying to target those that want it all but for a lower price. Basically, your average person. High end wants HD and high speed, and doesn't care about the price (TimeWarner/former Comcast).

I see that you live in Carol Stream. That means you're screwed. CS doesn't have its own CO...it runs off of Wheaton, West Chicago, Bartlett and Roselle, depending on where in the City you are....kinda' why can't get DSL in most part of the city. U-Verse is only being deployed to new developments, and older housing close to COs.

Isn't Playa Vista in the GTE/Verizon territory? I thought I remember a few years back when GTE/Verizon was slapped by the CPUC for given freebies to the likes of Steven Spielberg and others for schmoozing those individuals over the Playa Vista area development?

The house I am sitting in today (and neighboring homes) in Pacific Palisades at Palisades Drive and Camino de Yatasto STILL cannot receive a DSL speed from Verizon higher than 1.5/384 since it's too far from the central office. As far as Fios for the Palisades...it's big dream.

As for lower income areas, usually when I travel to southern California from New York, I'll stay in Canyon Lake. Hell, Canyon Lake (a entirely gated relatively well-to-do area) can't get Fios, but next door, the lower income area of Lake Elsinore can. Go figure.

I don't buy the argument that just the "rich" areas are receiving exclusive deployment of Fiber. The telcos would get into too much trouble in California.

I'm in the same bot as you but you are further out, I on the other hand can throw a rock into chicago from my room. However I also wonder if the same usually addage of, suburbs are not Chicago, still applies because of wiring and what not.

I also wouldn't be quick to say places like beverly will be first because I rmemeber in project pronto I lived there and our deployment was almost a year behind other places.

I just want the extra speed not really the TV although a competitor to cable would be nice, I still might try to petition our condo association to allow Sats on the roof however.
