More upgrades to existing FiOS customers, when I still can't get it where I live!

Nah - reread the part:

"All new builds in California, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Texas this year will be GPON."

It's for *NEW* builds. My older BPON technology Fios is staying that way.
Actually, it's just waiting to be upgraded after the greenfield GPON-only builds. GPON is backward-compatible with BPON (so if you have mismatched equipment (BPON at one end and GPON at the other) you'll only see BPON speeds). If you have a CO with only GPON switchgear, but mixed NIDs, they will only need to swap out the BPON NIDs. That could very well be an issue in parts of MD/DE/NJ/NYS (such as the *infamous rural outliers*).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20273350 Wed, 02 Apr 2008 22:22:04 EDT Re: Awesome http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20272022 kyler13 : GPON is neat, but my interest lies in WDM-PON. The day I know I have my own 2.4Gbps link to the CO, then I'll get excited.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20272022 Wed, 02 Apr 2008 18:36:31 EDT Re: Awesome http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20271603 EPS : Yes, only new builds starting this year- when we got FiOS installed here recently, the installer said we were among the first in the country to get GPON, which was neat.

I am getting hopeful though, I noticed all the utilities are marking out their underground runs in my neighborhood, and a few months back I thought I saw Verizon trucks putting fiber up on poles along a main road just outside of the neighborhood.
I thought your area had service, but I guess it wasn't in your area?

Nothing is in this county at all, although a recent article in the A.C. Press said that Atlantic and Cape May counties would start to see service next year. Doubtful that includes my area, unfortunately.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20271034 Wed, 02 Apr 2008 15:31:06 EDT Awesome http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20271009 JPuppy : More upgrades to existing FiOS customers, when I still can't get it where I live!
