Disappointed that I'll never see FIOS

Where I live in Lancaster, CA, very few people have FIOS. It is available, but only to those lucky enough to live in a new development. When I found out on christmas of 2008 that 2 good friends of mine had FIOS that live in the same neighborhood, I was amazed because I didn't think it was available anywhere in Lancaster, since I hadn't known anyone that had it until then. I live 8 miles across town from my friends that have FIOS, and I was hoping it would eventually get to my neighborhood, because I really want faster upload, and from my location the best DSL I can get is 3mbps/768kbps, thanks to distance limitations. However because my neighborhood is older, I guess I'll always be stuck on 1990's ADSL, or Time Warner's network which TWC can't even provide the upload speed they claim we should get.
I would even be happy if Verizon would do like what Bell in Canada is doing and offer some sort of VDSL service that would give like 20-30mbps down and 7 or 8mbps upstream. I don't care how the faster speed is delivered, just so long as I can have the chance to get it! I suppose my only hope now is that sometime TWC deploys Docsis 3.0 to my market.
I would've thought Verizon would realize that there are users that are eager to pay them to get FIOS, which means more money for them, if they'd just offer the service to those that want it! Those of you that have FIOS already, enjoy to it's fullest, because I and many others who want to get it will never be able to now it would seem. How disappointing!
