Here's the problem. Each and every block has to have an Entry Point called a block entrance. In PS it gets complicated because 1. it's mostly historical and VZ can not dig he street. If existing conduits are bad there is no way to serve the block. Almost all blocks in PS are closed...meaning the on;y way to access the rear poles are thru apartments...another problem. Once in the fun starts...not everyone will allow VZ to attach to the pole in their yard...without an access permit work stops. VZ will not trespass.
Once the infrastructure is built then the fun starts. You want service? It's on the pole right? How does your Landlord feel? VZ has to loop wires, drill holes, attach terminals, power up and ground in the basement....landlords have to OK all this. Tell the landlord to sign the papers and it will go faster.

The problem with the story is that EXISTING VERIZON_SERVED houses and buildings STILL CANNOT GET FIOS, try it online, VZ simply don't even list it as an option when you check the address.

Not the cable guys but VZ as a corporation is a lying sack of shit, seriously. I hope the next mayor of NYC will SUE THE FUCKERS.
