Unfortunately, something like 5.7 of that is all in Boston. Most of Western Massachusetts is a desolate wasteland, so it's no surprise that Verizon wouldn't want to invest there (I probably wouldn't either). That said, with all the DSLAM equipment they're moving out of Boston, at least they could give them DSL and make use of the old equipment.
Firstly, I resent your comment about western mass, most of western mass is very beautiful, it's a nicer 'wasteland' than new york. Secondly, they aren't moving any DSLAM equipment from boston, they haven't even touched boston yet...maybe some of the cities and towns closer, but definitely not boston. Thirdly, they don't move the DSLAM equipment out of a CO when they upgrade it for FIOS, (or atleast my installer told me.) If they did, how are those who are still on dsl and don't want to move to fios going to keep their dsl service?

Posting on something you know little about (or seemingly know little about) doesn't make you look too smart.

Last I checked they were replacing all copper, and what was the "upgrade to FIOS" stuff I saw there? I'd imagine as capacity demands decrease due to FIOS deployment that they would find ways to continue to profit off their investment. Also, I meant the "Boston area", so around 495 basically. Didn't think I had to be that specific.
