There is also no deadline for applicants, “the solicitation is non-exclusive and open-ended.” However, only Verizon is expected to seek a franchise. The company hopes to obtain one by year-end. You are dealing with government - which means SLOW. City council OK'd this in 2006. The city admin delayed until now. And Verizon won't get its franchise agreement until year end.

I had 20/20 internet for about a week in Brooklyn. I upgraded last night to 50/20.
1.7GB test download, in 5 minutes, from Oracle was just sick.
Only $89 too. |

"Only." 
Nice speeds and product for sure, but.... You pay over 3 times what I pay for my little 1Mb line. |

Re: Uh Oh
With the possibility of a franchise now near definite, they'll probably start deploying more fiber before then and just offer internet and phone until they get the right to offer TV, so they can offer that right away. |

Jerk -_-, Just when I was getting excited over the Speeds and 'possible' availability you had to go and ruin it. I'm kidding though but it sucks we have to wait this long to get it I just want more upload. :/ |

Re: ...
Very true, and it translates into a fantastic internet connection. One I'd love to have were it not for the price. Getting more for the same price is nice too. My 1Mb line costs just a little over what I used to pay for dial-up. Perhaps before long they'll be throwing away piss-ant 10 Mb lines for $25/month. Roll on FIOS!
ISP's are working hard to create higher revenue connections. Like cable, who would like to give over a hundred more stations for only $30 per month, faster speeds are only "a little more." With premium cable, internet, and cell phone I could easily pay more for them than I do for my house. We're being eaten alive I tell ya! |

Brooklyn, NY | When FIOS TV becomes available, we'll have phone, internet, and TV for $99 triple play. Looking forward to that.

Re: Uh Oh
VZ will be able provide FiOS internet to the masses of NYC before TV. The franchise agreement is only for TV, I believe. They are getting permits etc just to wire right now. Whoever said it would be awhile before anyone sees it was right. |

For people that need that type of bandwidth, that is an AMAZING deal. For your average person and even most geeks, 50/20 is just overkill when considering the expense.
