said by cpayne5:My cousin was a fiber tech in the northern Virginia area with Verizon. He would go and splice the fiber after the contractors put it in the ground in preparation for FIOS. He was one of 300 (I think) fiber techs let go back in February. He said that at their height, they were passing 5000 houses a month and that he was told they may pass as many as 5000 houses a year going forward. It certainly sounds like FIOS deployment has come to creeching halt. But like I said, don't take this as gospel, it's just what I've heard.
WOW!! I'm glad I got my FiOS service back in 2007.
