first post

dunno if this is gonna help ya or hurt ya, but i was at the westminster city coucil meeting this last week. the verison reps had a hearing with the coucil members to inform them of verizon's plans in westminster, ca. they said that it was take them about 1 year. to fully implement the fiber optic cable throughout the city. The example that they used was that it would take 4 hours to dl the movie Finding Nemo with today's broadband and that they could dl the whole movie in something like 15-30 min.

what they had also said was that parts of huntington beach and fountain valley have already been done. i live in HB and tried checking for service tho.... NONE....

Not bad - getting close to, if not exceeding (in actuality, not in theoretical connection max) some of the speeds I saw in the dorms with a T3. However, I don't mind our apartments current 3mb down - 1/3 of a meg a second is plenty fast for most things I do

Dangit, my county shows up in red. I guess it's better than it showing up in blue, but not as good as showing up in yellow. Anyone know whether or not the red counties are really accurate?

 

[Keitero]

Holy! If Bellsouth offered it here or Verizon offered here in Raleigh, I would change in a heartbeat.

Do you have to use MSN in order for this to work? Or do they just want you to install it?

 

[Hrochard]

Like their DSL, you probably don't have to install anything.

Doesn't surewest already have a 10Mbit plan in Northern CA? Just waiting for it to come to my area

I put in my Tampa phone number and it said it wasn't available. So I gave them my contact info. I'll drop Roadrunner in a second for this.

The only reason I can fathom is because Keller has new building developments all over the place, as does Rowlett, TX & Wylie, TX. I would think the FTTP thing would be easier to institute before homes were built. Maybe that's why they selected those locations.

 

[NogginBoink]

And my wife has been bugging me to buy a house in Keller, too! I'll have to examine that option more carefully now!

Yeah, there's a big discussion about it over on BBR's Verizon forum. I tend to agree with those that say that Verizon is posturing more than anything, but pehaps there is that faint glimmer of possibility, that Verizon actually is looking long-term here (rare for a US corporation), and sees POTS revenues declining into oblivion, and FTTP as a way to alleviate that, by have enough bandwidth to-the-home to offer video services (just like cable!), as well as voice and data and whatever else is interesting.

Indeed, it would be nice to have FIOS. Hope that they would let you run "servers" off of it too, otherwise the connection speeds ("ludicrous speed, captain!") would be largely wasted.

 

[Anonemous]

Go verizon!!! hope they deploy it more areas (where SBC is), so SBC has gotta up the ante!

 

[aldamon]

Unbelievable.

 

[nealh]

What I heard for Hillsbourough county in FL was that the Bloomingdale area was getting the upgraded cable..they were out in my neighborhood in the last month and supposedly it will be available before the end of the year...

if so..so long RR...hello 15/2 or 30/5

 

[KAMAZON]

I have just ejaculated, and it is good.

 

[SgtRock]

Damn Just checked and it says:

"Sorry you are supplied by QWEST (qworst). Darn everyone here in Colorado hates QWEST!! Come on Verizon kick these loosers out and give me my BROADBAND!!!

 

[HardcoreRobot]

HOT. too bad YMMV

 

[Computergasm]

Your in Keller and I'm in Fort Worth. Fios is not available in my area. DSL is not either. REALLY sux.

 

['BARtMAN']

Why is there never any of these type of deals in chicago... I'm tired of 256k upstream(comcast cable) and undocumented bandwidth limitations...

 

[Cobalt]

Damn, as soon as it is available in Chicago.. Bye-bye Comcast.
