In My Opinion
FIOS is almost too fast.... well ok, not too fast, but its almost like being on a network at the office.
the HD tv from FIOS is much cleaner than the HD from Comcast.
Ive had FIOS for about 7 months now, and so far the only time it went out was when a tree fell across my lines in the ice storm and brought everything down. other than that? not so much as a flicker of static on the TV during electrical storms.
MY house phone is also now run through the FIOS and it has never been a cleaner connection.
Price is comparable to the Comcrap price but the service is ten times that of comcrap.
I think the better service has to do with Verizon being considered a public utility, and comcrap being a private owned business. The rules for service are a little strickter on Verizon.
They also send only one bill per month that includes the internet, the tv, the house phone and my cell phones. Big bill, but better than all being separate.
I highly recommend the Verizon service over the other choices as soon as it gets to you.

I have my assumptions as to where it will go but that would just be a assumption. I don't want to give false hope.
Well, poop. Comcast is finally trenching down my street now.

We use existing RT's and add what is called a adtran to the remote terminals. This is how we reach more remote areas or areas that have a large population but aren't close to a central office.
Let me clarify on the FiOS offering. When I say La Plata I mean La Plata. Other towns and cities such as Nanjemoy, Port Tobacco, Welcome are not targeted for FiOS.....Only La Plata sorry
Back to your feed ....You are more then likely fed from Penns Hill Rd which would pretty much be a no go for DSL. Have you looked into EVDO? I have that now and it's great. The price is high but I would have to say quality of the service in wonderful. I average about 1.5m down and about 500K up which is better then the lowest DSL tier. DSl isgood obviously because o the price.
So what is the plan for the rest of Southern Maryland? Can you tell us where/when the next feeds will go in this area?
Does it really (honestly) speed things up if we complete the interest form?

Everyone,
I'm still holding out hope on Fios in our area. I'm located off of Route 2 in a fairly new neighborhood. Unfortunately, Verizon says they currently have no plans for installing Fios in our area. We currently cannot even get DSL. Comcast has pretty much beat Verizon to it.
I'm not expecting Fios to come here, they almost certainly would NOT get enough business.

I see all these official looking signs along the road that say TECHNOLOGY CORRIDOR. You mean you can't get FIOS inside the boundary of those signs? :baffled:
