Funny - Verizon will only go to places where it is saturated with enough people to recoup the cost of laying the fiber. Bowie was one of the first places and with homes sitting on top of one another it payed off well.
LaPlata is not saturated enough for them (IMO); I will bet they will say in 5-10 years which is a good way of saying "sorry for your luck"
When we moved to Bryantown 30 YEARS ago, cable was coming in 5 - 10 years... it never happened, and to this day they say it is not cost effective.
Now - St. Charles they could definitely get a return as the homes are on 1/4 acre or smaller lots. You can bet your ass it will run in there before it hits LaPlata...
the fiber trunks already run through Waldorf AND a MASSIVE fiber trunk runs down 301 through White Plains into LaPlata and out Rt. 6 through Port Tobacco, through Welcome to an "undisclosed" location... been there for years but will not be touched by Verizon for some time.
