FIOS is the future.

[Orrex]

When we were first looking to switch to highspeed internet in late 2007, we called Verizon to ask about FIOS availability and were told that it would be available in our area "in the very near future."

When, fed up with Comcast, I called Verizon a month ago to ask about FIOS availability, I was told that it will be available in our area "in the very near future."


Go on with your bad self, Verizon.

1. I get the same thing

I've checked every year or so and still nothing.

2. They finally service in my area.

Their prices are similar to what I get from Comcast, and I couldn't justify the move.
Other than sticking it to Comcast.

3. So, by 2021

You'll call them and it will be "right around the corner..."

5. We have Fios & it's great although...

it's pricy but then so is Comcast, etc.

6. You should have asked them when you got that same answer

"Are we talking of geological time here, or Jovian-orbit time? Because I don't think we're talking human time."

I suspect the sarcasm would go whoosh over their heads, but it would be worth a try next time

7. We've had it for 5-6 years

Really good internet speed, the DVR's are prety good, and the software (tv menu's etc.) are well thought out. After completing our first contract was up we switched back to Direct TV on a promo and realized what we lost.

After a year we switched back on a FIOS promo and get their mid package (triple play phone, tv, internet) for 115 plus DVR's set top box, and the rest of the standard bullshit. We have kept that basic price point for many years.

Still, it's a good deal, and for us very good product.
