I live in Franklin Park and would you believe this... HALF THE BOROUGH CAN'T GET FiOS!!!
Sounds ridiculous right? Wrong. North Pittsburgh Telco has been here for ages and the FCC granted them a monopoly clause (because they are small) so telecoms like Verizon couldn't move into the area and rape them. Well NPTC was just bought out by Consolidated Communications and I still can't get FiOS. Talk about a friggin' con job. I happen to live in the part of Franklin Park that is NPTC's territory. I'm stuck with Comcast. Fuck I hate where I live.
I've been waiting for FiOS for ages and I've been pestering our borough mayor for ages about this. I feel so betrayed.
I also live in Franklin Park....and have to deal with North Pittsburgh Telephone Co...I have Comcast Internet and TV, and have been hoping there would be a decent alternative some day...I guess not. NPTC's DSL Service 3Mbps is slower and costs more...I could go with Direct TV, but then any savings would be wiped out since Comcast will jack up my Internet service to $60.00 month if I don't also have their TV. All of my family and friends who live near me in Franklin Park CAN get FiOS...but I'm left out in the cold.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
