Might he be living in an overbuild area? Last I checked, there was only one out west in Texas.
Is Verizon installing fiber in AT&T service areas? What CO would they connect to? This is the first time I've seen a reference to overbuilding. Please 'splain!!!
To date, Vz has only overbuilt in one or two areas of TX. »FIOS' overbuilding in North TX

If this has actually happened in this one CA place, it's the first time it's been report here...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Verizon-FIOS-AND-ATT-available-how-22506418 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 09:53:23 EDT Re: Verizon FIOS AND AT&T available - how? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Verizon-FIOS-AND-ATT-available-how-22505597 said by Smith6612:

The T numbers belong to Northridge CO, and the Verizon number to Sepulveda CO (in North Hills). Less than 5 miles apart, by the looks of it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Verizon-FIOS-AND-ATT-available-how-22503986 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 19:23:21 EDT Re: Verizon FIOS AND AT&T available - how? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Verizon-FIOS-AND-ATT-available-how-22503713 said by JohnA:

ATT is not the phone provider, or he wouldn't be able to get Verizon phone service. Overbuilds in ATT areas have to do land lines from ATT, not Verizon.
But AT&T does provide home phone service there. My brother called them first for a quote. And I just went on the AT&T website to do a mock order for phone service there.

AT&T offered phone numbers (818) 709-xxxx or (818) 998-xxxx. Those numbers show up on NANPA as Pacific Bell/AT&T in Northridge.

My brother signed up with Verizon and received a number (818) 894-xxxx. That number shows up on NANPA as Verizon in San Fernando.

Different rate centers with different local calling areas. My brother's Verizon number is a ZUM 3 call from my LA number of (323) 936. A Northridge number from AT&T would be a local toll.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Verizon-FIOS-AND-ATT-available-how-22503713 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 18:25:47 EDT Re: Verizon FIOS AND AT&T available - how? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Verizon-FIOS-AND-ATT-available-how-22503625 ATT is not the phone provider, or he wouldn't be able to get Verizon phone service.

FIOS phone is POTS over FIBER, not VOIP, and the battery backup keeps the phone line powered during a blackout. Another UPS can keep the router alive so battery-powered laptops and the like can still use the internet. A UPS can keep also the TV and STB alive too I suppose.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Verizon-FIOS-AND-ATT-available-how-22503334 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 17:10:21 EDT Re: Verizon FIOS AND AT&T available - how? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Verizon-FIOS-AND-ATT-available-how-22503301 said by almahix:

When I did my undergrad at CSUN I lived in Northridge for a while and had an AT&T number (Pac Bell Tel at the time!) but one of my professor friends lived a few streets away and had a Verizon (GTE at the time) phone number. It think the northern-most parts of Northridge (N of Devonshire, perhaps) are serviced by different phone companies. This is true for other parts of the valley, such as Panorama City and possibly North Hills and Granada Hills as well.
I kind of knew that the northern valley has Verizon while the rest has AT&T.

The thing is, in my brother's case it is both. Perhaps he is on the border? He is between Nordhoff and Devonshire.

And can someone answer the issue of the battery back-up. Is FIOS phone service POTS or VOIP?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Verizon-FIOS-AND-ATT-available-how-22503301 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 17:03:10 EDT Re: Verizon FIOS AND AT&T available - how? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Verizon-FIOS-AND-ATT-available-how-22503267 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Verizon-FIOS-AND-ATT-available-how-22503267 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 16:58:55 EDT Re: Verizon FIOS AND AT&T available - how? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Verizon-FIOS-AND-ATT-available-how-22503189 See Profile might be able to share more info if so...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Verizon-FIOS-AND-ATT-available-how-22503189 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 16:47:34 EDT Re: Verizon FIOS AND AT&T available - how? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Verizon-FIOS-AND-ATT-available-how-22503142 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Verizon-FIOS-AND-ATT-available-how-22503142 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 16:40:30 EDT Verizon FIOS AND AT&T available - how? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Verizon-FIOS-AND-ATT-available-how-22503104
How is it possible for one house to be serviced by both of these companies? He also has Time Warner available to him, giving him three choices for phone and Internet service. AT&T does not offer u-Verse there so he could not get TV service from them. He does have AT&T u-Verse in his old house a few miles west.

Also, the FIOS installer pointed out the battery back-up that was installed in the event of a power failure. So is Verizon FIOS phone service more like Time Warner VOIP than an actual landline? An AT&T landline would continue to work in a power outage without the installation of a battery back-up.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Verizon-FIOS-AND-ATT-available-how-22503104 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 16:35:59 EDT
