Re: Well isn't this just shocking.
said by Dominokat  :Notice that is ONLY delivered in markets where the population makes a shit load of money. Not to "common" people. Oh wait a minute, I almost forgot. The government ONLY cares about the rich. Not middle and lower class. Whoa, before we get into a discussion about "they", "the man", and "whitey", look at what you're saying.
FIOS is a service that costs $40-$60 a month, so Verizon has no incentive to offer only to affluent areas.
It would take a long time to install FIOS in an apartment building, especially to every room. Same with condos, especially considering the disturbance it'd cause among residents that could care less about FIOS. With a house, it's obvious the person living there wants it and that no one else will complain, and that it won't be too tough a job, and houses are usually owned by well off people(not the kind of person who lives paycheck to paycheck, which you are more likely to find in an apartment), which is why FIOS gets installed into so called affluent homes.

Way more than the bill for anyone who would receive utility subsidies.
