Re: Montgomery County MD Public Hearing
said by JTRockville  :After the hearing, I spoke to Doug Breisch (sp?) of Rockville DTS, who seemed stunned that Verizon was preparing to light Montrose Road Stunned is a proper reaction to finding out that they can and will be passed. Message being sent ..... properly received. |

Are the unincorporated areas of the county likely to be wired before the incorporated areas? That would be welcome news for people in North Potomac/Dufief! |

| We tried speculating a while back (when the initial service area was being built) about what the criteria might be for areas likely to be served first. We concluded that there were so many variables, you couldn't pin it on any one thing, like incorporated vs unincorporated.
Have you seen the service area map? That might help you get a sense of when you'll get lit. |

| It will be interesting to see if MC is boneheaded enough to try and make changes to a court ordered mediated document. If they do, VZ will just go back to the court, the court will thrown the book so to speak at MC for being such nitwits.
Oh and to compare Comcasts goodies, that were extracted with the promise of a monopoly to what the court approved mediated contract has is just plain stupid .. I'm soooo glad I don't live in MC!
VZ was 100% right in the path they have chosen, and for good reason, MC is showing its colors ... it would appear they still don't get it, but I guess coming from people that wanted to overrule Federal Telcom laws, there is no surprise ... |

What you said was Verizon is going to do yours, whether they have to stop at the city or not. Puts them on about a 6 month time frame, to move or get left behind. |

As long as the changes are not unreasonable I think Verizon will go along with the fine tuning. At this point Verizon will loose too much money if it has to go into litigation and face delays. There are legitimate concerns that need to be addressed by Montgomery County. |

| I thought so too. Montrose Road CO has a huge footprint. But I wasn't going to argue with the crew - particularly since they're moving through Randolph Hills really quickly.
btw - Two different crews gave the same projected dates.
As long as it's available by Feb/March, it won't throw a monkey-wrench into my T-1 contract. |

You can send your first email over fiber to Doug, and tell him of your good fortune, of having your issue, raised at the hearing, solved so quickly. |

I'm starting to get excited. The crew has made it to the southern corner of Troy and Schuylkill (Troy crosses Schuylkill twice), but they haven't started down Troy yet. |

| JT,
Good deal... glad to hear it... and I'm even happier it's not Dec 07 we're talking about!!
Now if we can only ge the TV stuff in place and working;
I'm so fed up with my 50" plasma always just pixilating... and no amount of complaining seems to be able to get it completely resolved.... |

| I hate to say it BarneyBadAss , but I don't share your excitement about video. It would probably take me a few days to even notice if my service was disconnected. But I don't get any pixelation on my teeny-tiny 80's era tv sets, or on my computer monitors, with DirecTV.
Still, even though I'm perfectly happy with DirecTV, I'll probably switch to Verizon so I can get our PEGs. |
