Re: when is the handoff in MA & RI to Frontier happening?

said by TIGERON:

I keep hearing rumors that in any day another Verizon to Frontier sell off is coming with Massachusetts and Rhode Island are next. Can anyone verify?

Where did you hear this? VZ would like to sell off way up state NY and western MA but splitting a "Bell" company isn't easy, it is an all or nothing type thing.

It's not easy, but possible. Verizon has sold off wire centers in Upstate NY before. South Ripley comes to mind if my memory serves me.....

If you look at the Rate Centers, Ripley and South Ripley both home to the same switch. South Ripley used to be a NY Tel CO. I think NY Tel wanted to replace the CO with an RT cabinet (it was that small). When the PSC said no, they sold the CO to an independent, who promptly replaced the CO with a Remote Terminal Cabinet...

Looking at the map I don't see VZ anywhere in the area. Do you have a link to the sale or utility ruling? The PUC can't engineer the network, they set rates and service levels only and only for POTS.

Buffalo is a Verizon Area, LATA 140. South Ripley was about an hour south of any other NY Tel CO's at the time and was completely surrounded by an Independent.

I'll see of I can come up with anything but this was "Pre Google"

You never dealt with the NY PSC back in the day did you? They wanted diversely routed trunks, primarily for 911 services for this CO that maybe served maybe 400 access lines at its peak. This was back in the early 90's. They were installing cell backup for CO's that did not have diversely routed trunks back then.

What is this a map of? There are some markers on there that I think are supposed to be Verizon CO's, and they are NOT in the right location! And many of the address info is wrong on them.

Map is very wrong on CO's - it's missing a LOT of CO's entirely. And the CO's they show are on the wrong location of the map.

This map looks to be more oriented to showing Datacenter services. It seems the COs being mentioned on this map, are the ones where major Tier 1 and Co-Location POPs are found. That may explain why many VZ COs for example, are not seen, but are otherwise mentioned when a POP is available.

It is a map of cherry picking to the extreme. My CO is on there with a Cablevision POP they run a business fiber to the premise from Megapath. Unfortunately VZ stopped FiOS one CO away.

Ask your local (city or county) or state government for a wire center map.

I'm on mobile, will post PDFs of the MD and NC ones later

This is my favorite. It is accurate to the foot. It doesn't show CO but ILEC territory.

Ironically, there's lots of stuff missing for Verizon in PA on this map!

Zenit, That last one looks an Rate Center map, vs a Wire Center map. AFAIK Apex has one CO, but Cary has at least 2 and Raleigh has multiple..... It's a nice map though
