They have been working on my street for like 6-7 months now... They keep sending me crap in the mail 'Verizon FIOS is HERE!" and they park the truck with the same slogan at the shopping center across the street.

Yet, everytime i call, im told its not available yet.

GRRRRR

i was told by a verizon rep that most of nj should have it by the end of this year.

That would be impossible. They started putting in cable near me in March, and it's not ready yet - and that's for one central office. At the pace they are going, it would take years just to cover all of Pittsburgh.

Hopefully they pick it up a little bit
