|
| | | There's Fios all around DC, just not IN DC. It's pretty hit or miss. There's Fios in parts of Fairfax, Wood Bridge, Dodge City, Manassas, and many places in MD. It's just the luck of the draw, I guess... | |

Damn Verizon. | |
|
| |
| | | | Re: Can I have? Same here. I want FiOS but its rarely available in some Portsmouth but our area dont.. It does available in Chesapeake and Va Beach. Damn Verizon. Don't get lazy and get fiber optics over here right now and Cable can eat sh*t.... | |
|
| | 5.5 years...... 5.5 years of the fiber here in comcrap land.
Will never use copper again, trying to switch to fios tv for the triple play savings, but comcrap keeps us on some super low deal, probably to keep us from going 100% vz, but i'm getting tired of tiling and mismatched audio/video, as well as their dubious anti-fios and "xfinity" advertising.
If i ever move to nyc, (somewhat likely) i'm glad that it will be there waiting for me.

| | false advertising Veriizon has billboards suggesting people sign up for FIOS. Yet nobody in populated neighborhoods can get it. They need to stop advertising the service and just use the money to roll it out. Lots of people want FIOS bad here and are ready to switch.

| robo & commissioned sales calls In other news, cablevision and time warner "robo calls" and commissioned sales reps trying to woo customers away from symmetric broadband, and competitive triple play deals kick into overdrive. Obviously Verizon IS making a dent in the NYC market and it's hurting the competition. So, when the annoying calls to switch back come.. it better be a sweet deal... I personally dont' think 5 megabits upload is worth it.. they both can do better.
Both cable companies lost ALOT of customers over their poor haggling strategy with content providers. Now are trying to win them back 'on the cheap'-- don't be apathetic and bite, just yet.. force the cable companies to improve services. Then maybe, just maybe that will get Comcast subscribers to pluck up some courage to tell their service provider to improve service-- or else cancel the account. | |

| | | Re: 54% my butt 54% in verizon bs. please i live in manhattan and I haven't seen anything not even 10 blocks away from me. sure they have wired many buildings, but as many to claims 54% in nyc. Maybe 54% IN QUEENS NY, but In manhattan maybe only 15% is wired. not a single old building is wired with fios, however all new recently buildings are wired. | |

FiOS is available a block away from me, but my block doesn't have it. It'd been 1.5 years since my friend 1 block away got it. The heck is taking so long for Verizon to wire to my block? -_-;;

| | Verizon Bought by Frontier Wasn't Verizon bought by Frontier?
July 1, 2010, 4:09 pm EDT
STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Frontier Communications Corp. closed its $5.3 billion acquisition of phone lines in 14 states belonging to Verizon Communications Inc., the company said Thursday. | |
|
| | | Re: Verizon Bought by Frontier Not necessarily; that just means that they've bought the phone lines. Not the company.
Oh, and FiOS is only available in the southwest corner of the state. Rest of CT has been high and dry for about 5 year. | |
|
|
1 edit | Absolutely not. Verizon sold off several states' phone lines (some with FiOS) to Frontier. It's completely different than Frontier BUYING Verizon.

kudos:1 | Please come... A friend of mine live in the same area with me, just on another side, and he already got fios in the first big snow in last winter.
Now another winter is coming soon, and I am STILL waiting.
Just saw a fios truck (not the cable one) a block from my home, but no one is inside, so cannot ask for any info
It is stupid for verizon to keep advertising fios, but still a large portion of household in the city cannot get it yet. Those funny ads mean nothing to us... | |
