No explanation given by the county for the continued delay. The county did say that both Comcast and Verizon are meeting their obligations in the "Franchise Agreements". I say thats BS, my home is in the initial service area for both Franchise Agreements and we should have had service provided...
Today (11/2) I got an email from the county that said Comcast and Verizon have delayed service to our community of Grosstown Rd. They now anticipate having service available in the April 2018 time frame.
Just checked the Verizon link, and it still indicates another 55 days until service will be available. Which now puts it in late November/early December. I guess I should not be surprised at this point. Both FIOS and Comcast have finished the install in my community. Not sure why the delay in...
Thanks for the link, I tried it for my address, which is off Grosstown and Sandy Bottom and it came back as no planned service, even though Verizon has already installled the fiber in my delevlopment. Time will tell.
That seems long, considering Verizon has already installed the underground fiber in my development off Grosstown Rd. But then again, for as long as we have waited for them to provide service, I guess nothing should surprise us at this point..
Will be interesting to see if Comcast provides...
Verizon was in my community off grosstown rd today marking for install. Spoke with the verizon tech, and he told me we should have fios service within the next 1-2 months.
I am fairly sure Verizon has started to install fiber in multiple developments off oliver shop rd. They have not yet started to install the fiber along Oliver shop to connect the developments. Take a drive down Corinthian Court, Amberleigh Lane, Crescent Run and you will see the fiber installed...
It looks to me like that is the plan. I noticed new white spray painted marks on Oaks rd starting from Oliver Shop. There are also new spray painted marks along Oaks rd at the entrance to all of the developments between Oliver shop and Three Notch. They are the same white painted marks that FIOS...
I just got an email from the county that Comcast will begin installation of service to my community on grosstwon Rd in June 2017. The county also informed me that Verizon also plans fios service to my community in early to mid 2017. Will see if it really happens.
In Mid October, Comcast was in my community which is located off Grosstown rd. I stopped and talked with the tech, and he stated he was taking measurements for cable installation. When I asked him when the planned install would happen, he didn't have an answer!!! No Surprise.
However, back on October 13th, we had also reached out to Verizon to see if there had been any change in your area due to their recent upgrades in the La Plata Wire Center. We hadn't heard back from them as of today, so your email prompted us to follow back up with them.
Verizon responded...
This past August I sent an email to the Charles county IT office, asking when my home located off Grosstown Rd would get FIOS. I had sent a similar request to them back in 2015. Here is the response:
"It is our understanding, from Verizon, that your home would receive service from their LaPlata...
