Re: FiOS coming to Durham, NC?
said by informed1 :
Spoke to a rep today, and was told that all the local loop work had been completed for southern durham and some of northern durham. Southern Durham (Southpoint / RTP area) will begin to get mailers within 2-3 weeks after they begin notifying those who asked to be notified.
Again, I was told TODAY, 1/10/08 that FIOS was within 1 month of full rollout. B/c of financial concerns, not every section would get immediate access, but 80% or so of the county would by early summer. OMG OMG OMG@@@!!!
Woohoo! I will sign up the day it's available downtown. Come on Verizon! | |

Any one else able to confirm even seeing the billboards? Everything I've read (and of course, the info on FIOS is notoriously hard to come by) still says Verizon hadn't reached agreements with NC yet, that the fiber was not in place, yadda yadda etc.
Also, when I look at Verizon rollout press releases from as late as last month (Decemeber 2007), they don't even mention North Carolina.

With the latest crap being pulled by TWC, I decided to do my occasional FIOS search. The post above has me very hopeful (I live in the SouthPoint area), but I cannot find a single piece of corroborating data anywhere on the web, and I've already been through the incredibly painful experience of trying to find this stuff out by actually *calling* Verizon (shudder).
Anyone? Anyone? Anyone else even seen a billboard? | |

Fios TV, phone, internet. Plans for internet start at 5 down / 2 up for 29.99. So happy I can't stand it! | |

Yea. I saw the billboard also. I had heard that due to red tape, they hadn't approved FIOS in the triangle. Wish it would get here soon. | |
