Palm Desert, CA | Don't blame Verizon, blame yourselves, no Free Lunch! Everyone knew that Verizon was the only Telco that had FTTH, and everyone served by Verizon had a shot. If you truly wanted FiOS, your City or Community just had to put together a good package and talk to Verizon. The ones that did have FiOS, but everyone wants a Free Lunch, and not enough customers bought the upper level products. It's not cheap to deploy Fiber, so that money is running low, so of course Verizon has to stop and start selling FiOS Products in the areas it has deployed FiOS.
Well get over it and stop crying, now what you have to do as a City or Community is put together a plan for FTTH for yourselves. It will cost you, but it can be done! | |

States changed laws and made special deals with Verizon, yet they're halting buildouts in those places too.
And when cities and town try to run their own fiber they are met with opposition.
Verizon wants to have its cake and eat it too. | |

Palm Desert, CA | I don't know where you get your information, if something was Inked, it was completed. If something was said, I'll give you this if you give me that, with no Contract or Paper then you are correct it's over! Our Community here in Palm Desert, CA got FiOS, but everyone went for the Low Tear, and I doubt that we have barely 25% Penetration. Yes everyone wants Fiber, but they only want to pay a couple of Bucks. Nobody is going to stop you if you want to run your own Fiber, you just have to get the right people that know what they are doing. If you run your own Fiber, you are just connecting your City or Community, you still have to buy the Main Feed from a Provider. So no one is going to stop you, they are going to help you! | |
1 edit | said by alchav:I don't know where you get your information, if something was Inked, it was completed. Not even close. Speaking for my own state, not all of NJ that Verizon agreed to is completed.
And for Verizon, the state of NJ enacted the new statewide franchise law.
So don't tell me that cities, towns and states are not welcoming Verizon with open arms because they damn well are! | |

Palm Desert, CA | Okay Fifty Nine, tell me this. In those areas in New Jersey that have FiOS do they have over 50% Penetration, and have they ordered all Verizon Products above the Lower Tear? If New Jersey is like our area, the answer in No. This is why Verizon has to scale back and start selling. | |
