Re: Southern California is doing very well FiOS-wise For whatever it's worth, Verizon's Fios deployment in its service territory within the city of Los Angeles, such as Brentwood, Westwood, Pacific Palisades, the north San Fernando Valley (San Fernando, Mission Hills, Granada Hills, Sylmar, etc.) has all been but non-existent. So much for the statewide franchise agreement.
I'm still shocked that even in high-end Pacific Palisades, much of the west end of community only has access to DSL speeds of up to 1.5 mb down, and no Fastpath.
Yes, Time-Warner and Charter (Charter serves a very small portion of Los Angeles adjacent to Pacific Palisades that's part of their Malibu system) at least both offer higher speed options to Palisades residents.
I know this as one of my relatives lives in the Palisades and I experience her slow DSL speeds when I deadhead there for my trips.
True, we have an economic downturn, yet in the Pacific Palisades, the downturn is not as severe as in the Inland Empire. Even Orange County is holding up reasonably well. |
