No FiOS in 2006, maybe 2007

Will someone clear this up, I thought we already have fiber on our streets here in Broadlands North. If so, all Verizon has to do is run it to the home? Or, if we don't have fiber on the street, why don't we have DSL? How can we not have either as a choice?

 

So the fiber is on the street and Verizon just has to go from the street to the house? That is a short distance, so why is there all the gloom and doom about how much rock we have in the Broadlands and we'll never see FIOS? Lets stop agreeing with Verizon that we all built our homes on impassable terrain and get another high speed provider. Or am I missing something?

 

Thanks for the info, you cleared it up.

 

What I have heard for whatever reason they don't want to use the existing fiber and plan to lay all new fiber. Something about it is just easier to start from from nothing then deal with the problems the existing might have. Also it is not their fiber.

I have currently been living in Broadlands since 2003 and just upgraded my house. When visiting the site of the new home on Mount Auburn (of Broadlands and Glebe) my new neighbor just told me that he saw the Verizon FIOS guys installing fiberoptics and they said that it will be up in some areas in 2-4 weeks! I called to confirm this and the girl on the phone stated she can not guarantee it will be ready in 2 weeks but they are working on it

The good news is that it will be here soon. Unfortunately I will have to go 2-4 weeks without high speed internet as Comcast still has not performed the site survery they promised me two weeks ago

Anyone have any other suggestions for high speed in broadlands north? Anyone try the one from dish network?

 

Wow very cool you are talking about glebe view and broadlands Blvd right?

 

Yes I am talking about Broadlands Blvd and Glebe. The name of the street I will be on in called Mount Auburn (It shows up on google maps). It is very close to the Clydes in Broadlands north. Just hope they don't have any hiccups and they get it done sooner rather than later.

i live on chicacoan trail right off of it on the far side so like its clydes then 2 blocks down its me! so hopefull it will be here soon too!

 

Verizon posted this for April in Loudoun: does it seem accurate?

Alexandras Grove Drive
Cornerpost Square
Five Oaks
Huntland Court
Loudon County Pkwy
Meadowsweet Court
Middlebury Street
Postrail Square
Sharpskin Island Square
South Riding
Summerall Drive
Victoria Falls Square
Wildbrook Court

Of course it's close enough to May now ...

 

Looks like Broadlands is out of luck in May. Who would have thought?

 

It seems like they are almost going 'around' Broadlands! Has Verizon communicated at all with our HOA about a deployment plan?

 

Verizon ... communicate ??

 

I'm trying!!! I've reached the right person, via email, but have yet to reach her by phone to set upa meeting to discuss Broadlands.

 

I got another email response back. She will be back in town tomorrow. She knows about our HOA Annual Meeting on Tuesday. Maybe someone will come???

 

ok sounds cool

 

Any update on this. They told my neight a couple of weeks ago that it would be ready in a month in Broadlands North, but I really doubt it.

thanks,

Shyam
