Rollout Schedule

I'm in central Illinois. Does anyone have any idea when FiOS will be available here? Comcast has a monopoly right now and I'd LOVE to get away from them.

Hello,

I will be moving to Redmond, WA soon to start working for a certain software giant - I am sure you all can guess which.

I would like to move into an apartment complex that has FiOS, preferably TV and Internet but just Internet is fine. Since I am not sure what apartment complex I will be living in, or what my exact address will be, I can't use the look up tool provided by Verizon.

Is there a coverage map somewhere, or can anyone recommend some nice apartment complexes in and around Redmond that I would be able to get FiOS at?

Thanks in advance!

I too am interested in a rollout schedule for FIOS. I am in a suburb of Pittsburgh. Some areas nearby are already receiving it.

I find it very hard to believe that a company of the stature of Verizon does not have a project plan with target dates to roll out what is essentially a state of the art network.

I know it takes some work to lay the fiber cable, but someone must have an idea of when this will occur.

I am interested in upgrading my services and bundling them, but I do not want to make a two-year committment to Direct TV (thru VERIZON) if I could know that FIOS will be available within a short timeframe.

Come on and just give us an idea of when the FIOS rollouts will occur.

I would love to know if their are plans yet for central Pa. Clinton County Lock Haven Castanea area. This 1.5 meg dsl from verizon is killing me. I am about ready to go to comcast for more speed. I cant get anymore speed from verizon but I am paying for 3 meg service.

I am in Glen Allen, VA and in the Carrington subdivision, when will FIOS service be installed? It is in all of the subdivisions around, but not this one.

It seems like New York State has a lot of areas served by Fios. We live in the town of Brighton, a suburb of Rochester New York. Is Brighton a possible new location for the service? We're champing at the bit!

Most of the time, most companies dont give specifics for when they will be rolling service out to a specific area, this is to avoid the competition from going out a month before and then getting everyone in the area locked into a contract so they cant switch. Basically, they give only the most generic announcements. For example there was a press release a couple years ago that said that verizon's goal was to have the fios service run to the entire verizon footprint (except for the most remote locations) by 2020. And they will also come out and say. "we plan on running our service to select area's of Washington DC in 2009" (for an example) but wont say that it will be on 5th st or say it will be in november. They try to keep it as vague as possible to keep it from the competition for as long as possible. Its a marketing ploy.

Excellent thought. I suppose I'd better wait until Time Warner starts offering some super deals, then maybe I'll know they somehow got wind of something!

I live in Altoona, PA. I have heard rumors that FIOS will be available here late summer or early fall. I've been holding out switching from cable to satellite in hopes of FIOS availability soon. Does anyone know if this rumor is true?

Would anyone be able to provide me with specifics for when VZ will be expanding its fiber in 15232. I am currently in 15206 and loving the service, but I may be moving and looking at the poles the fiber stops 1 block from where my new property may be which is in 15232.

Thanks!

Any ideas about La Palma, CA 90623 area? U-Verse is starting to advertise here that their TV service is available. I'm currently on Time Warner, but interested in Verizon FIOS. Currently on TimeWarner I'm getting 15MB down and 2MB up, so it's not a huge issue to switch, but I like Verizon, have them for my Cell Phone. Thanks.

Anything coming out in Columbus, Ohio any time soon?

Verizon is in the process of selling their assets in WA to Frontier Communications.

As a result FIOS deployment has stopped. The build out, which was going quickly where I live, has stopped. The FIOS trucks are nowhere to be seen.

Deployment within city limits was to be complete by last March according to a presentation given to the public. That is no longer the case.

Coverage is hit and miss in the city. Good luck.

IanKen

Man, that Verizon PR piece about the sale to Frontier is a real masterpiece of spin.

The deployment in Redmond WA has stopped. There is nothing happening. The spools of conduit have been packed up. The surveyd streets have not been wired. The big FIOS trucks are MIA.

In the end Verizon will walk away with a few $bn, frontier will be deep in debut and Comcast will reign supreme with their mediocre service.

Way to surrender, guys. What will you do when the cash from this transaction runs out? Penny wise, Pound foolish.

Perhaps they are running from the Bill and Linda Gates Foundation. Sorry but I had to.
