| Service Deployment
Various comments listed above are partially correct. This service (7.1M/786k) is not an entirely new service from Verizon (was available to business), but now slated as a consumer product. From a business standpoint (for the obvious business minded person with a company) this is being offered to serve a "fios-gap" persee. Delaware was the beta area for this new service and has been available since the begining of this year. Last week it has been slated to "move forward" for new service orders and existing customers whom wish/can get an upgrade to the new speed in the New England / New York areas. This new service will require a "truck roll" to install a NID splitter, as this is the only way your service can truly be verified and approved by the company. Existing customers whom qualify, you will have to have your current service disconnected and "cut-over" to the new ASAM.
"Reality Check" - As we all know xDSL at these speeds or VDSL for that matter need to have the line conditioned, with that in mind, and the age of your copper, you may not get the full speed, as the cut-off is 8000Ft for this service. I wont go into what the VZ accepted rate for service is, I will let you argue that with your installation tech (be nice though ...lol) Since this service is new as it incurred a company wide upgrade, your CO maybe not be complete yet. Also don't expect this service to overlap where a CO is completely FiOS ready (remember my business comment above). Not sure when the company database maybe updated for you to verify if you qualify, but in the meantime happy surfing ... Happy Holidays Everyone !
FYI - I'm an independent consultant, and former field special services tech, that has to stay abreast of certain things like this and just share my little info that may help you. |
