Verizon, like other providers offer different levels of service. The area a person is located is not indicative of the service they will get.
Unfortunately some people who assume the information about the topic posted on this website is true will be confused. We are inundated (almost daily) about how evil Verizon is "redlining", and how only the richest people in the country have FIOS. That is of course completely wrong, so its important the let the readers here know that.
i dont think that they hit just the rich. my end of the city is not realy known to be the best where i live but fios is so hit and miss its not even funny

where you talk to the service reps and they tell you that you cant get it but the guy down stairs has it the guy to your right has it but you and the guy to the left of you cant

and yet the fiber is right there or at the end of the st

i think thats what really boils most peples water!!!

When things like that happen, it's normally because of either database issues or address issues from the city records. City records are used, not postal records. If people decide they are gonna turn a basement or an attic in an apartment, and the municipal records show it is a single family house, then you're gonna have those problems. I worked for an ISP, and that was always a problem in New England.

People think, "They send me bills here, why can't they get me FiOS?" Postal records mean squat for local utilities. I could send a letter to a fake house on a real street, the post office wouldn't know it's fake until they try to deliver it. People assume a lot about what goes on from the outside. Service Reps are there to be salespeople, they are not given engineering info about the physical plant out in the field. People with knowledge of the physical plant aren't sitting by a phone waiting to answer calls from customers.

ok i hear what your saying but verizon does know that the wires goes down the st they know extactly where they laid there fiber theres no questions about that

it it stands to be crazy when they have you as having service with them be phone or dsl now can you explain that one then

your really not going to sit there and try to say that they dont know what is what

when you go online and look to see if you can get service you can do address or phone number

im sure they know where you are if you have phone service because its all tied in to the 911 system

they know what is what and what is where

just like once you go fios there is no going back to pots because they rip out the copper wireing from the house to the poll

once there done with there roll outs you can pretty much bet that they will sell whats is left of there copper and or just rip that off the polls too

but i guess its what ever
