Score one for Hasbrouck Heights!

I can't wait for FIOS to come here and the CEO of Verizon acknowledged our little town that won't be getting FIOS in 2005. :-/ Hopefully 2006 will bring FIOS! I am probably the biggest fan of FIOS on here, I have been following the national deployment (from when it was a experimental project).
