Looks like not much has changed in town since my last post. A friend saw VZ pulling fiber in the old Bell System tunnels that run down Main Street, and asked them if it indeed was Fiber.
The VZ guy stated that the fiber was going to LVHS, which confuses me. LVHS already has a VZ fiber run dating back to Bell Atlantic. Perhaps intended for the townhome subdivision there?
Its probably the beginning of the fiber trunk from the CO to the subdivisons on the other side of town.
Who really knows. Too bad VZs construction website for VA is gone, it made this whole thing transparent. Now we are left guessing what will happen.
A bit of related news for broadband in Purcellville - Comcast is doubling their speeds for customers on Double and Triple play services in the coming months. The base 25mbit down, 5mbit up performance is becoming 50mbit down, 10 up.
Meanwhile many addresses in this town can only get 3mbit DSL max from VZ. If you live really close to the CO, speeds like 10mbit become possible. Still anemic for 2014.
Something is very wrong with that picture.
The lucky people that live near Franklin Park can get FIOS now, judging by whats on the poles. Once you leave town, on the section of Main Street that goes to Round Hill seems to be covered with the service.
I have no idea about the subdivisions mentioned earlier, but they should have service by now, unless VZ Construction moves at the pace of a turtle.
