| Re: Montgomery County, Maryland fios tv said by rai  :I'm off River just inside the Beltway (Goldsboro CO). I just checked and the website says that FIOS TV is available for me! (So long Comcast!) Anyone have confirmed details on the "Local" package? I presume that it's $12.95 for analog only (no STB required) plus taxes, etc. It's mentioned at the bottom of the page: "Local service package also available. FiOS TV Local provides access to local TV channels, community and educational programming." I'm on the same CO (I thought the official name of it is Woodacres, but maybe it's Goldsboro).
Yes, the local package gives you the analog channels only, up to channel 49, no STB needed. I'm ordering the Premier & Movie packages. | |

| Re: Montgomery County, Maryland fios tv Could be "Woodacres". I just think of it as "Goldsboro".
I guess it's because I tend to confuse Woodacres and Woodhaven, which is over near the Landon School.
Actually, I just went through this site's CO finder and "officially" the CO is:
CO BTHSMDWA (CLLI code)
Telco: BELL ATLANTIC - MARYLAND, INC - MD
Address: 6202 GOLDSBORO RD
So, you can call it Woodacres, I'll call it Goldsboro, but it's really BTHSMDWA, which is really hard to pronounce...
Thanks for the local package info  | |

| Re: Montgomery County, Maryland fios tv Update: Four verizon techs came out 12/7 at 9:00am and install it within 3 hours. The picture is great, better than comcast. I have the HD box but no hdtv yet. Going to purchase one this weekend but if hd is better than what I am seeing on regular tv, this is going to be awesome. I live in Wheaton and have had fios internet for well over a year. Man, the wait was worth it. | |

| Re: Montgomery County, Maryland fios tv Keep bugging verizon, call again and again. Not everyone has the same information when it comes to fios tv installs. Most likely, every time you call, you will probably get a different tech and maybe get one that might know exactly what's going on in MC with installs. Request a Maryland office tech or find out their direct number. I don't have the number available now because I am not at my residence but will post later. Keep pressing, especially those who have fios internet already. | |
