2 edits | Fiber is a little lacking here in Baltimore County 2 years and counting that the people quite literally a grand total of 1 city block away from me have fiber. 2 years and counting Verizon has failed to even do so much as paint the block here.
Locals complain to the Baltimore Messenger that Comcast has a lock on what passes for competition in the city...
...and the county. Seriously, my present Competition to Comcast right now is "linksys". |

Sterling, VA | Well to be fair, "linksys" probably has the greatest footprint of any "ISP" in the country ...
Baltimore has CLEAR though right? |

Here in Northern Virginia there's FIOS literally a block away. At my apartment complex, though? Nope. Just Comcast. |

Are you in the same CO as the FIOS block 1 block away from you? |

Well I have had FIOS TV, Net and Phone in my apartment complex in Arlington, VA for about three years now and love it. Luckily for me the management in my complex is a bit more forward thinking on (some) issues and they were very much willing to allow Verizon to install and give Comast competition.
Many other apartment complexes in Arlington are in long-term exclusive contracts with Comcast but all the new buildings coming up in Arlington give residents access to both Comcast and Verizon. |
