I'm in 11208 and have had FIOS 150/65 since January. Service has been rock solid on both upload and download. Have seen my upload speeds hit 80 mbps on occasion. Welcome to the club. |

My install took exactly 8 hours. they got here at 9:45 and they were litterally telling me its done at 5:45.
I am getting 99.85 down and 72.23 Mbps up. I am not getting the full 150 because my cad in my notebook isn't fast enough but the one in my desktop is. (just moved havent unpacked) |

Believe me, Brooklyn's whole rollout is disgustingly slow for some reason. They wired and lit all of South and Southeast. I'm wired, but nothing is lit. This is horrendous. |

Called the central office today. Looks like 11225 will not have FiOS for a very long time. Apparently, the next six months shows that FiOS will not be available. Here's to 2013, I suppose. |

Verizon was here this morning with a cherry picker. Looks like they installed one of those pole boxes that you usually see in FiOS-wired areas. I don't know what they're called. Are they FDHs? But it doesn't look like it's connected to the main fiber line yet. The cords are still wrapped around the side of it and the instruction manual is in its plastic and taped on the underside of it. Maybe my neighborhood is getting it sooner than I thought. |

This is what they recently installed. On the bottom left is a splice that's been there forever. EDIT: Sorry it's sideways. say the bottom RIGHT instead. |

I think it depends on the street. Some Apartments on my block have FIOS and others don't(APT issues are due to landlords not signing agreeements with Verizon). A house we were were looking at buying(two blocks away) has FIOS available. As stated above, the cables have been in our streets and backyard for almost a year. |

None afaik in North Park Slope 11217 and 11215.
In spring 2010 a FIOS engineer claimed to have surveyed the enclosed backyards between Montgomery Place and Carroll Street, after cable splicers replaced several hundred feet of failed fifty-five year old copper plant. (Thousands of feet if you measure by the strand: NYS PSC urged the copper replacement after the umpteenth landline outage, after I'd lost service for months on end.) The FIOS engineer claimed they'd start "shortly". |

i do get that some places have it within this hood, but does it seem accurate to say that there have been no new fios activations the past 12 -18 months? |

So I was driving through Brooklyn and Ridgewood and noticed quite a few Verizon installations going on. New thick wire run from as far as Fresh Pond Rd to Myrtle Avenue. No idea if this is FiOS or not but residents in that area should keep an eye open and ask the next time a Verizon truck is out in your area. |

Frespond Rd, to Myrtle Ave is Glendale still Queens. You gotta cross the cemetery to get into Bk but the other side of the cemetery is cypress hills and we already have FiOS |

Ridgewood is being wired. My block is already done. It's Harman St near Metropolitan. I was told by Verizon that we would be provisioned by the beginning of September at the latest. They are currently wiring Woodward, or Onderdonk. |
