Verizon Fios

Im just asking if anyone knows if fios will be coming to broadlands because its in my grandmas neighborhood like 4 miles away just asking to see if it will be coming to the broadlands cause i would buy it

 

By just doing a search on FIOS in the titles, I came up with these threads:

FWIW ... they all basically say ... don't hold your breath.

 

oh dident see those thanks for the links i reaally want fios! FIOS COME TO ME! lol

 

Van metre had a better idea...it's called "OpenBand"...atleast down here yonder in the South. i guess it is a piece of fiber to my house...does that count?

 

It's definitely a piece of something...

 

I can think of two words of what the Openband piece of...monopoly that Openband pays Van Metre Profits from 8% & 12 % (depending upon the service) respectively or my all time favorite.. piece of s$^t or c*!p.

 

All of these internet providers are a monopoly. pick your hell is really what it comes down to. Just look at the adelphia to comcast switch as an example lol. Boy you wanna talk about a monopoly taking their customers for a ride. Comcast sure is.

 

One additional thing ... once you chose Fios ... What happens if you do not like the service for any reason ? ( can you simply switch back ? ) I doubt it since they are investing lots of money getiing Fios to your house ... ( they might have some sort of contract language ... sort of like wireless companies .. early termination fee / charge )

 

not sure im just waiting on the list from verison for contruction of fios and hoping it will say

Broadlands:
Meander Crossing Ct.

lol i would love that

and i think after 2 month if you dont like it you can backout

 

I wasn't going to say anything since I don't know much about FIOS, but tonight for the second time in about a week we got a call from Verizon offering FIOS at our house. We're in Ashburn Village so maybe Broadlands won't be too far off.

I don't know anything about the FIOS service, setup, or contract agreement but may look into it since Comcast's prices went up starting this month!

 

yea thats why i started looking into fios, my grandma lives in ashburn village i think that why she has it already so!

 

The Village also has a somewhat different substrate.

 

There working on it in Ashburn Farm right now.

Amazing ... are these the same areas they started in then stopped a year or so ago ?? I notice that from the pictures that they're currently following the existing phone/cable ways, not a bad way of doing it.

 

I've exchanged emails and will hopefully speak to the person in charge of Verizon Fios expansion on Friday.
It seems that Openband is somehow part of the problem.......
This company is not only screwing with Southern Walk residents but may be impacting availability of services to the rest of the community, which is about 75% of the residents!!
I'll post more as i get additional info.

 

Imagine that - huh - OB causing a problem - is the Pope still Catholic?

Seriously I will review the Op Agreement - there is a clause that states "right of way"...just a guess, OB may have the exclusive rights - however Verizon should still be able to provide an alternative path for the homes in North Broadlands.

 

ya they should be able to do that hopefully it will be here before next year great Christmas gift

Thanks for calling
Ps VAcliff i know Connor same school lol

 

Where can I file a lawsuit?

 

i do hear that openband is pretty bad it gives 79/79mbps tho but sounds like its bad whats so bad about it?

 

Heck if you are really serious and live in Southernwalk - come join me and then we would have a bonafied class action suit.
