2 edits | What about their 7meg package? You should be able to get 7 meg at 12,000 ft (2.2 miles)
3 meg at 16,000 (3 miles) and 1.5 at 18,000 ft (3.4 miles).
Is everyone in Verizon territory over 18,000 ft (3.4 miles) away from their CO?

1 edit | I was at 14k feet, but could never get over 768 no matter what they did. Even cutting the bridge tap didn't help. I am so glad they put in fiber. I look at 768 as primitive now. |

And FYI, anyone fed from a remote is limited to 3.0, so even 7 is lucky for most. |

Thhis assumes the copper plant is in good condition, with 24AWG wire from the CO to the subscriber. Realistically, this doesn't happen that often.
Me? I'm at nearly 21,000 feet. Pulling between 1 and 1.5 Mbps. The secret? 22AWG or better wire between me and the CO (live right off the main highway into town). And I'm fed from the CO, rather than an RT, which to my knowledge hasn't been upgraded.
It's kind of sad that I can get 5/1 DSL at my other house in the sticks, ~15 miles from a town of any size, a half mile away from a farm-to-market road, but can't get 1.5 Mbps 2 miles outside of town. Oh wait, the out-in-the-sticks cooperative charges more for their service...WAY more...and uses the money to build fiber and digital loop carriers to get loop lengths down. They could offer 10-15 Mbps ADSL2+ with no problem over that infrastructure... |

For real, fuzzy math number generated by T1shopper link showed that I'm about 10,800 ft. from the CO (not even a remote?) but availability is limited to 1.0/384. VZ's own online ordering page for a "new" customer used to show up to 3.0/768 availability whereas if I keep existing Double Play, best that can be done is up to 1.5/384. Poor line conditions between NID and CO for past 18 months had got worst, MCO tried to "optimize" my line to 768/128. Downstream margin is at 63.5 dB (used to be 66.5 dB) suggesting a loop of just under 16,000 ft. which should still give up to 3.0/384 at near ideal conditions.
Must be a pipe dream, smoking on God knows what - get real, Verizon. This PR stuff is a joke, fix & upgrade your existing infracture for those further out (beyond the 7,000 ft. cutoff) and improve your billing/customer services and you will lose LESS customer to cable HSI.
BTW, stop dumping Fios flyer on my front yard when you cannot fix your address database and bring the "live" fiber from the next block to my city block, a distance of just 500 feet (tops) |

My house in Glendora was just a tad over 18000 feet from the CO, and I "qualified" for 1.5 megabit, and it was installed.
I had constant problems with the connection dropping, to the point we dropped me down to 768 and I still had issues. Only when we went down to 384 did the connection stabilize...and once that happened, they refused to put me back up to the higher speeds - even though I told them I would put up with the issues just to get the faster speed (I averaged around 650 on the 768 connection)
AND I WAS PAYING OVER $300/MO FOR A BUSINESS CLASS SDSL CONNECTION.
