Re: hmm said by majortom1029:Its not just people in the boonies that verizon refuses to update. Here on long island they have a contract with the town ut only wired up about 1/4th of it and stopped. This is a suburb of NYC . Verzion is letting the cablecompanies gain subscribers just by not wiring up whole communities. CV is lobbying HARD to keep Verizon from getting a TV agreement on LI, so that is why FIOS is not rolled out in areas where it could be...
They have effectively BLOCKED FIOS in Brookhaven.

Here in lindenhurst fios has a tv agreement in the village and town of babylon and verizon refuses to wire all of lindenhurst .So it has nothing to do with Cablevision .
Verizon stated they will not be wiring any more places up in the country.
So verizon themselves essentially gave up and is letting the cablecompanies win. |

| The problem with Long Island is the five hundred little incorporated villages and towns that want to play big city administration games.
"Well Verizon, you may have negotiated with the county,but now you have to negotiate with us,this town isn't big, but we think we are!!" |
