Verizon trucks are swarming my street in Eastie for the last couple weeks! Finally laying some fiber in a community that's been fiberless so far (unless comcast has some buried, which they probably do). That's got to be a good sign, because in a lot of ways, this general area is an afterthought to a lot of companies (RCN, I'm staring directly at you). If Verizon is laying fiber here, then they can't be far from a cable license for the entire city of Boston.]]>Jan 24th 2009 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/verizons-fios-tv-expansions-january-24-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/verizons-fios-tv-expansions-january-24-2009/
Looks like I'm stuck in a rut with Comcast!]]>Jan 24th 2009 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/verizons-fios-tv-expansions-january-24-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/verizons-fios-tv-expansions-january-24-2009/
PA - After an on again off again situation Mayor Nutter of Philadelphia announced mid week that Verizon and the city of Philadelphia have signed an agreement. FIOS will be coming to PA the only question is how soon. Verizon is touting one time line and some council persons are looking for a faster install. Those same council persons are also not happy with the financial arangements regarding support of local access content. But as of now FIOS and Philadelphia are a team.

DE - in my own front yard in Whitehall (a surburb of Wilmington and New Castle) the fiber optic cable is now installed in the underground conduit. The conduit was placed last spring. Beginning on Monday the 19th Verizon crews placed the cables throughout the community. Midweek the splicers were here making one big cable out of all the shorter sections. As I understand it an inspection crew will follow at some future time to certify the cable for use. I'm not expecting that this coming week as the weather forecast is calling for snow all week long. But once that is done, according to one of the installers, Verizon will begin accepting subscriptions. I just hope they can get all this done in time for me to qualify for the DVR deal Verizon is using as its current incentive.]]>Jan 25th 2009 6:15PM
