My guess would be very soon .... like very soon after 2017 when LaPlata has become 100% Waldorf.

I called MBC (the broadband guys) and they said they'd be running Fiber down rt. 6 a couple months ago (they didn't) (and likely never will) (they haven't even updated their website in a year).

I also talked with a higher up with Comcast who said they were doing a survey in the Dentsville area last Feb. I guess they decided the thousands of homes there didn't need internet.

anyone know anything else?

just to keep this topic around.

I was at a Bob Evens this week and noticed that all the Verizon service trucks were in the parking lot. It seems that all the local servicemen and there boss were having a meeting so I asked the boss when La Plata was getting FiOS. He told me that the plan was to start this Oct with the cable running East up Charles St towards 488. He told me that Quailwood where I live will have it at the end of the year at the latest. I didn't ask him about any other areas. I hope this is helpful to some of you. By the way the signal will be 1080i.

This is true, alot of areas in somd will have Fios up and running by the end of the year if not before then. I ve been to the trainings and had the up close and personal experience, it blows anything I ve seen AWAY. They ll be offering bundle packages too.

I'm pretty sure it's not there now. Was wondering if you would happen to know or could find out when it may be there. I'm eager to drop Comcast as I already have Verizon for my internet and phone.
