img 1.9 - Boston area

[splarty]

Any updates for when img 1.9 is going to be rolled out in the Boston area?

[jackmcgann]

I've got a feeling.....   10 / 19 / 2011... around 2AM or so...

I believe we're next up on the list. Not 100% sure though.

We are definitely next up on the list.

I read somewhere else that we would be getting it next week (10/11) but the original date (after the strike) was, as the poster here suggests 10/19.

Given the roll out in the last area was ahead of schedule, I was wondering if we were going to be ahead of schedule too?

(I have an external drive that has been sitting there for months and an internal drive that is maxed out ... even though I have one of the larger internal drives ... I got the external because Verizon has had the advertizement about being able to use external drives on their main site for months, not sure why they chose to do that).

Is there any update on the timeline for the Boston area rollout of IMG 1.9??

Update please.  Thank you!

Joe Ambeault hates Boston!!! So he may never update DAC 5 - delay will likely last long time  not weeks but months. Hopefully by Haloween of 2016 Boston will get it (or not)

Looks like you were way to optimistic by hoping to get 1.9 in October 19. You just don't realize who are dealing with - it's Verizon for the god sakes!!!. Specifically, IMG development team headed by Joe Ambeault - the most unprofessional team you can imagine. So, to expect that they will rollout IMG 1.9 AHEAD OF SCHEDULE it's like to hope that ALIENS from other planet will visit us next weekend.  Keep your fingers crossed and hope to get 1.9 in November ... 2013  ( if Joe will decide that Boston deserves to be upgraded!) Honestly I am so angry at Verizon now with this rollout mess that I will seriously consider dropping Verizon altogether and swithching to DirectTV. Moreover, it will be good idea for many Verizon FIOS customers to do the same - we need to teach Verizon the lesson to treat customers with respect they deserve to have!
