1 edit | quite an accomplishment quite an accomplishment considering how long they have been around and how limited the foot print is.
If we could get an idea of how many homes they pass and how many customers maybe we can all finally make a determination if the uptake is worth the risk.
Can't use site from Solaris , what a Rip. | |

| Re: They look soooo happy! said by robbob340 :Makes me sick. Seriously it is like verizon reality tv. Agreed. It's like Fios makes people happy. And funny how they are your typical suburban, almost "made for tv" family. Guess this is who they are catering toward now isn't it? They are obviously getting something for doing this by the way.
Granted, if Verizon would come rescue me from my crappy Time Warner Cable cable and internet service, I'd be a bit happier, and less frustrated. But then again I'm not your typical suburbanite. I'm from NYC. | |

| Bell, Macdonald, Vail and now Seidenberg. This is what made America’s network the envy of the world for over 90 years and is once again fulfilling the manifest destiny of America being number one.
We have the Bell symbol, the symbol of excellence second to none.
From left to right we have Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone and the founder of the first systems.
Second we have Theodore Vail, the man who knew the nation’s network was a natural monopoly and for it to succeed one company, a controlled monopoly, must be established, The Bell System is born.
Third we have Ivan Seidenberg, a man who started his telephone career with The Bell System in 1966 as a Splicer’s Helper, a sewer tech. He would pump out manholes and get dirty so the Splicer would not have to.
Fourth we have Angus Macdonald, a telephone lineman, who worked through the blizzard of 1888 to keep open the only long distance telephone circuits between New York and Boston. The lines remained open during the storm maintaining the only communication between the two cities.
Ivan Seidenberg took a great chance with his career and with the stockholder's money by deploying Fiber To The Premise. FTTN would have been the easy and safe way for him to go.
FiOS is still in the very early stages and those with eyes to see know that many years from now America will look back at today and say yes, Ivan belongs next to Bell and Vail.
Just so you know where I am coming from please click the picture below.

Looks like my house, but I can't afford HDTV's and 3 or 4 STD's and all the extra costs.
I get mailings every week, red Verizon Polo shirt clad kids
walk around the 'hood on Saturdays pimping the TV service.
I yelled at a guy last night about needing a mid tier package. Amazing to believe part of the country does not speak Spanish, and La Conexión is of no use to me.
How about a La English package for $32.99? | |
