I understand, from postings on dslreports.com, that it is available, somewhat, in certain CC apartment buildings already. (FiOS to the building, then VDSL to your unit in the building.) See, for example: http://www.dslreports.com/comment/2568/59608 I recently moved from the 'burbs to within Philadelphia, but a bit further away from the middle of things (2nd and Girard; 19122 zip code) where FiOS was definitively not available. "Yet," I'm told by Verizon support. (And where Speakeasy refused service, because Covad's not in the local CO--presumably, because Verizon won't let them in any more, which leaves me stuck with Verizon DSL. It has yet to maintain 24 consecutive hours of connectivity, and it's been a week and a half. And this is a business line, not that apparently provides any sort of SLA or customer notification of maintenance for Verizon. My frustration knows few bounds at this point.) I'd guess it'd be reasonable to hope to see FiOS in parts of the city with a substantial number of likely customers (read, post- gentrification) next year. -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
