Looks like FiOS is now up north of me :/ This is in CB9 (Wingate)

EDIT: By the way, I'm in CO NYCKNYTY. I reversed looked it up and it said it's on Empire. I'm pretty damn close to that CO, then.

One other good way of knowing if FIOS is coming to your area soon is that when you see the other area close to you getting FIOS wired up. I just am waiting to see or hear from someone if they see Verizon putting up fiber cables on poles in back of homes or where the poles are in backyards. Because that will be a very good sign that Verizon is starting to do those areas where they have poles in back of homes. So post if you see Verizon putting up fiber cables on poles in back of homes in Brooklyn.

Verizon has said before that when it comes to the NYC development, it is inevitable that they might have to make some new poles. They did when it came to Mill Basin. At least, that's what my friend said. She has FiOS in the front and Cablevision in the back. It's a nightmare to have FiOS wiring in my backyard, I suppose. I'm in a row house area with no backyard access EXCEPT via people's yards. My front poles have Cablevision and I doubt they'll share poles any time soon.

If Verizon started putting up new poles in front of people's homes it would be expensive, more time consuming and there would be a lot of legal fights from people to put up in front of homes in those areas were there is no pole.Verizon will put up fiber cables on poles in back of homes or in backyards.Due to being cost effective and less time consuming. I am just waiting for anybody in Brooklyn to see or spot Verizon techs putting fiber cables on poles in back of homes. Maybe it is being done we just have to wait for someone to post this info.

Well, two months ago, Verizon techs were in the back of my row house area checking lines for something. So, who knows what might happen? Maybe FiOS will come to my area sooner or later? I just wish it would come now. I can't stand Cablevision and their scheming ways.

Re: [northeast] Brooklyn,NY FIOS Deployments

You have a point, but the poles in my area are separate. My electricity is underground, Verizon is in the back poles, and Cablevision is in the front poles. I'm pretty sure they are separate because my POTS box is in the back like everyone else's and I get my internet from Cablevision from the front poles. Never have I ever seen them cross in my place.

Re: [northeast] Brooklyn,NY FIOS Deployments

Well, you're adjacent to Canarsie which already has it. Hopefully, they spread to your area soon. AFAIK, I've seen some new wiring near Crown Heights on Utica Avenue. If you go further down towards Mill Basin, they have FiOS. Not sure if they have it closer to Wingate/Crown Heights/East Flatbush. At least since East Flatbush is getting wired, Wingate shouldn't be too far behind. Now, if it weren't for backyard wiring . . .

reply to lexuskool
Downtown Brooklyn is getting wired and the northern part of Brooklyn is getting wired. Especially all the areas of Brooklyn where there are poles in front of homes.The areas where the poles are in back of homes or in backyards will most likely be the ones that Verizon does last in Brooklyn. It's mostly the southern part and some other areas where the poles are in the back.I am waiting for anyone who sees or even a picture to confirm and post verizon techs putting up fiber cables on poles in the back of homes. I am waiting to see what happens in Bay Ridge cause that's where Verizon has started wiring on June 1,2009 and thats the area where there are poles in the back. Also there is a link on top called our availability map where you can click on new york and click on your mouse to zoom in on the map. click on availability map and also click on the predicted and click on top of the pins which gives you some revealing information on where fios is in Brooklyn.

I was in Bensonhurst today (for AT&T Wireless matters. Ugh) and I saw two Verizon trucks (one with a huge spool of fiber and what looked like a cement truck) passing through there. Looks like more of Bensonhurst is on its way to getting more FiOS connected areas. I also came across an area that had poles in the front on one block, but poles in the back in the other. AFAIK, they had FiOS in the areas in the front, but I didn't see any fiber splices/hubs/anything fiber related for those in the back. Not good for my backyard lines right about now.

Waiting to see what happens in Bay Ridge from 7 th avenue down to shore road cause thats were the poles are in the back of homes.Up to 7th avenue they have poles in front of homes. Same goes for my area in Sunset Park the poles in front go up to 7th avenue and from 7th avenue down to 1st ave poles are in the back of homes. Hopefully someone who reads this post living in Bay Ridge from 7th avenue down towards shore road spots Verizon trucks in those streets from 100 street to 65 th street and will post the good news.
