WOW one town in the whole US they have done it in,and not even a major city at that..
But locally here they are pulling fiber in a lot of the affluent cities in my area. And I see it DAILY. My job takes me all around this great state of mine and I can tell you I see tons of trucks rolling fiber and a crap load of contractors laying the conduit.

Of course someone from Keller, TX would respond...
Keller is a puppet show. Richardson, TX (SBC) is a puppet show. Those people have fiber up to their computer desks...but 1.5mbps/128kbps speeds. What's to stop them from getting faster speeds? Expanding from Richardson to other counties?
I'll take Verizon (and SBC in my case) seriously when I can see my RT/Fiber node down my block.
im going with sneaky on this, ill believe it when i see it. until then everyone needs to calm down cuz by time you get fiber you probably wont care much for it or it will be priced that will make it unattractive.

Who cares what Verizon is doing. Are they doing it in your neighborhood...
Yes they are. Many of you reading this will live long enough to tell your grandchildren about the dark-age days of no fiber. I didn't expect to live that long -- but I was wrong 
Being wrong is highly under-rated
of course one of the few people from keller, the only place with fios responds.
