1.9 in Somerset, NJ

[Dafreakzo]

I am having a little difficulty finding a release date schedule on the forums.  Does anyone happen to know when Somerset NJ is planned to have 1.9 rolled out?

Thanks!

Waiting in Bergen County NJ also, been waiting for months and no idea of when.

Verizon will not tell you until they are believe its emminent.  And as you may know they already were burned once in NJ as they had planned it for there and ended up delaying it right into the strike.

Currenly thought to be 2 to 3 weeks away in NJ.

Don't believe it, Verizon has promised multiple times and always disappoints

I was told quite a while ago that it would early 2012. It's well after mid 2012 and still no sign of FiOS in our Somerset neighborhood. I'm going to contact our township and/or state rep to find out why there are no straight answers. It's all around our neighborhood - just not in my neighborhood.

You may well ant to do as you say and check with both your local authorities.  If it is other areas around you, do you know if any neighbors have it.  If any do it might be a database error.  In that case have verizon comeout and check.  If not it is probably some hangup between Verizon and your local authorities or just that they are sill in the middle of installing the necessary optical cable.

All of new jersey and philadelphia are scheduled to get the 1.9 IMG update on wednesday night. So on thursday it will be there for you. There is a rumor going around though that the strike is going to happen again on tuesday so it could be delayed again.

Can anyone confirm if NJ is scheduled for 1.9 tonight?   That would be sweet! 

[wanga]

It's definitely not tonight.

Where did you hear about NJ and Philly being scheduled for this week?  Can anyone confirm the plan?  Joe A?

If you look at the thread about the 1.9 IMG with the title "1.9 IMG rollout" on page five you will see the order of who is getting it. It is listed by DAC which is what you should be looking at. New jersey and philadelphia are the next two DACS that are getting the 1.9 IMG and twitter joe said to a customer from new jersey on the fios tv twitter page on september 17 which was a saturday that new jersey will be getting the new guide in a few days which means this week. I have also been able to confirm this with some people who are very high up at verizon that it is scheduled to come out this week for new jersey and philadelphia. From what i was also able to find out new jersey has the most fios customers in the country and if you live there you will see a verizon truck pretty much everywhere setting people up for their new service. The new guide has gotten mixed reviews but it is subjective so you can judge for yourself when you get it. Now if only verizon could get the data that appears on their guide to match the programming that is there then everything would be perfect. I have been getting the guide corrected little by little for not only myself but for everyone in the country because everyone pretty much has the same guide except for local news channels, local sports channels and pbs stations. Over time i am hoping that it will get corrected for not just me but for everyone. The 1.9 IMG for people in new jersey and philadelphia might be a nice upgrade as i continue to work on getting the data that is on the guide corrected.

So, in other words, you are guessing it will be soon!

[wekurtz74]

Well, it Thursday and no update overnight.  I looked into it, and realized that the update for CA and TX was only on Sept 13.  It is unlikely they are going to push it to us just 1 week after a previous deployment.  Also, if Joe A made that statement on twitter, he must have removed it, as I cannot find it.  He does indicate that NJ is next, confirming what we thought, and that he is pleased with the progress of the CA/TX updates.  IF there are little problems out west, my guess is that if we are "lucky" we will get the update next week

[tns]

The earliest most thought is next week.  At least one usually accurate person put it as the week after.

Joe A once before a few days meant 7 to 12 days.  And on Sep 20 replyied to "how long between market rollouts of 1.9a?"

"14-21 days (subject to change)", tj (Sep 20)

[mikeofbergen]

I have no idea of who this Joe A is, but he clearly, clearly has no idea of what he is talking about or any credibility whatsoever. Any fool can predict week after week that it is coming soon.

[wekurtz74]

LOL.  Joe A is the director of product management for Verizon Fios.  http://twitter.com/#!/fiostv

Well, his word is no good. Best to say nothing if you do not know anything for sure. Speculation is for the user, not the corporation
