What ridiculous calculations.
I was the first home out of my CO to be wired for FiOS.

I don't know how many homes were passed at the time the service went available (let's go with the magic 400).

So by this clown's math, my home cost $360,950 to wire.

Whatever. Verizon has only hit the tip of the iceberg on their deployment.
using these numbers, technically, that's correct.

So if Verizon spends $400k to wire a neighborhood of 400 homes and you're the only guy on the block who signed up, it cost them $400,650 to get your business including hookup.
