Those areas include Kirkland, Redmond and on north through Bothell and into Lynnwood, Edmonds and on up to Everett in Snohomish County.

Their contractors are already in my neighborhood off the Mukilteo Speedway putting the fiber-optics in underground before they eventually ask me if I want it - at that point they'll connect it to my house. Once they offer TV, they'll have scads of people abandoning Comcast or Comcast keeping them by meeting Verizon's price point in the market which is usually better than Big C's.

As to Seattle, it's not only that they want to 'monitor' private enterprise, they also want private enterprise to use its money, not the taxpayer money. . . We'll see how 'Northwest Nice' and 'the Seattle Way' play out in this vision of a fiber-to-the-home network.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20187176 Tue, 18 Mar 2008 22:05:24 EDT Re: Fios http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20181420 pepperxn :

Is Seattle a Verizon or Qwest ILEC area, or is it mixed? The article seems to give the impression that the city itself is Qwest. Verizon tends not to place FiOS where they don't have ILEC status, since that would mean having to negotiate for the right-of-way.
Qwest, but Verizon has spotty areas around the country outside their territory that was GTE.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20181420 Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:27:54 EDT Re: Fios http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20181285 EPS : Is Seattle a Verizon or Qwest ILEC area, or is it mixed?
