| [ fiber tech] Verizon FIOS in Fresh Meadows/Flushing They have been wiring up 73rd Ave for FIOS in fresh meadows. Yesterday March 12 they ran fiber to the backyards for 197th street between 73rd ave and 75th ave. Interestingly this area is hooked to hollis CO. We also received regular mail saying FIOS is coming soon. So looks like we are close. | |

@mindspring.com | Re: [ fiber tech] Verizon FIOS in Fresh Meadows/Flushing Good to hear.
As usual, still no FIOS in the areas that are actually served by the FLUSHING CO.
Anyone here any news about this CO? | |

| Re: [ fiber tech] Verizon FIOS in Fresh Meadows/Flushing Not to be negative, but what is the definition of "most."
Flushing is a very big area, there is the downtown commerical district, apartment complexes, single family homes, and MDUs.
Which areas are included in "most"?
This is good news indeed. | |

| I just drove by a Verizon (not "Verizon Wireless") store today. It is on Main street, the last block before it intersects with Northern Blvd. I was not able to go in.
It has a store display that says to the effect "Home Phone, TV, Internet."
Since FIOS is obviously not available for ordering by consumers in Flushing yet, I suspect the store is currently pushing DirectTV and DSL plans. | |

| Bayside was the first area in Queens to have FIOS INTERNET way back when. FIOS INTERNET does not require a franchise agreement with City Hall, so no Verizon stores were required back then. Now that a city wide franchise agreement is in place for FIOS TV these Verizon store are now required in order to provide customer service to consumers (wherever in the city they reside).
Ideally it would be great to have a store in every neighborhood, since the eventual plan is for Verizon to provide service everywhere in NYC. But the reality is that Verizon isn't required by the franchise agreement to put stores in every neighborhood they serve. | |

1 edit | Re: [ fiber tech] Verizon FIOS in Fresh Meadows/Flushing Right I understand that. So with the introduction of FIOS to Flushing, the FIOS store logistically will be in place so other areas should get rolled out and introduced and spread to other areas including my neighborhood of Forest Hills. | |

| You should know you have actually 3 ways to sign up when FiOS is available; Verizon store, online and Authorized agent (which I am). I hope you get FiOS this summer and not in 2010 or 2014 as stated above. I too am waiting until summer they have installed and available all around me just not in my development.
My best friend works for Verizon doing site planning here in NJ for FiOS and apparently it takes a couple of months after it is installed to close the neighboring loop prior to you getting it. | |

4 edits | Re: [ fiber tech] Verizon FIOS in Fresh Meadows/Flushing Richmond Hill CO is seeing FIOS by Margaret Place and Union Turnpike? Any confirmation? I think its FIOS in all likelyhood.
That leaves Forest Hills Central Office next.
build conduit 9ah1n4-1 rh 3of3-9ah1n4-1-087
They gave a specific address, and its all residential there. The manhole was marked up and I think it could be for FIOS since they are running new conduit. Its Margaret Place between Woodhaven and Union Turnpike.
I guess we will see by July what else is done. I don't expect much for this year unless your area is in deployment.
If we even see FIOS deployment in Forest Hills in late 2009 or early 2010 I would be really pleasantly surprised. But somehow I doubt it will happen. | |

Soon enough after Flushing is done, we could be next considering the close proximity.
Anyone know which CO's for Verizon have FIOS now in Queens?
Only a few COs out in Queens I assume still don't have FIOS being worked on yet with Forest Hills being one of them.
My own gutt tells me FIOS to Forest Hills will be started after Flushing gets done. | |

Enter in your NPA-NXX. Area code and 1st 3 digits of the number in your given area. Don't use cell #s.
My CO is NYCQNYFH. One permit is on the suspect list as to possible FIOS, but there is no sign that it is just yet. Haven't positively ID'ed it yet.

Looks like Forest Hills is getting FIOS too. More permits for what seems to be FIOS. All residential sections. If I am correct and it is for FIOS, we should be seeing more permits.
Queens will have FIOS for the entire borough before you know it. | |
