Mobile, AL | Impressive for copper, but.... Just wait until companies start researching how to push fiber to new limits via new standards. Verizon is doing the right thing by deploying FTTH. In the future Verizon will profit while the Empire will be forced to continue to build out yet again. |

They already have and do research as it has been around for quite some time and used extensively. It's only recently been made available directly to the homes. If we had the patience and wisdom to spend more money on a completely wireless solution, we would not have to rely on any cable for transmission. But we are years away from this level of advanced technology. Someday. |

Verizon isn't doing squat to deliver broadband in my area. I've been waiting for DSL since 1997! As far as Verizons future,They'll go bankrupt before I get any broadband offerings.
Verizon is nothing more than a lame chicken shit phone company that can't ever service their existing infrastructure. |

verzion is doing better than ex bellsouth AT&t now. |

| Oh really now? Considering Bellsouth pushed more fiber out than Verizon did (they just stopped before the house) and had more remote solutions and DSL availability than just about anyone else...what makes you say that? |

| Bellsouth had over a million customers within a few hundred feet of fiber (FTTC) and a huge remote deployment schedule that put fiber within 3 miles of the bulk of their customers. They weren't shy about deploying the stuff. Only when Verizon did FiOS did they actually go beyond Bellsouth. |

Did they ever offer speeds over 1.5mbit over that fiber hahahahaha!!!!! They never used any of that fiber for higher speeds over the lowest tier ADSL (1.5). Atleast they future proofed. But now ATT will tear out all that fiber and put in copper for Uverse. |

Got that right. They (Verizon) say my address doesn't exist and I live in the Bay Area 35 miles from SF and 37 miles from San Jose. I can't get bette rthan 3.0/384 over copper because the Telcos are milking the dsl markewt big time and won't spend a nickel on infrastructure upggrades. Funny that COVAD/ELNK could find my address!! |

It will be years before Verizon or anyone else pushes fiber to the masses. There current 18 billion$ push will only reach a percentage of their customers. |
