Vanbells - You don't have cable? Aren't you Englewood? Off HGR?

Pookieboo!!!
Yeah, Englewood just got cable about a year ago. I think that's only because of the new neighborhood in the back of HGR. I love DirecTV and I don't think I really need any more bandwidth.

Your pretty close to my family....They are off of Fair Fountain. They own the farm back there.
Thanks for the update! I looked for this on Tuesday and it wasn't out yet. I actually live on Summerton Ct which is off of Stonestreet Rd, which is off of Penns Hill Rd. I am still concerned that I don't actually see Summerton Ct. on this list, perhaps that will be on April's FIOS schedule. *sigh* Oh well, progress is being made at any rate

Geester I was just told that fiber will stop at Knollcrest. Distance limitation. 35k from the CO is the max. a 1 by 8 splitter could increase this, unfortuantely they only use 1/16 and 1/32.
Knollcrest will be the end.

That limitation would probably prevent the service from being run down Oliver Shop Road. Is there another CO in the Hughsville area?

Yes their is a CO in Hughesville but nothing is planned for Hughesville in 2009.
Just La Plata and Waldorf.
You have to be kidding me! Knollcrest is like 3,000 feet from my street. My head is about to explode.
That's strange to me that they would stop there without making an effort to run it into Hollybrook using a a 1 by 8 splitter. There are already like 25-30 homes off of Rest Rd., and Hollybrook is a neighborhood that when complete will have over 80 homes in it. And the entrance is like 3,500 ft from Knollcrest. What a debacle!!

Yes I know....It sucks. I spoke with one of the engineers early and he told me they are working on a 1/8 splitter but he didn't know when or if they would even use it. A debacle is correct.
For you it's even worse. So close yet so far! At least for me its another 20,000 feet at a minimum.
As I here more I will let you know.
I appreciate your insider information. So it sounds like a 1/8 splitter is something they could add at a later date without any major restructuring then right? I wish I knew how the technology worked
35k from the CO. Is that 35 Kilometers? Do you know what the street address is to the CO?
bfncbs1

I don't know the address of the building but its between Ledo's and Pizza Hut in La Plata.
That would be 35,000 feet and that is based on loop length not actually driving from the CO to your house.
I did a rough calculation and used the address of Chesapeake St. in La Plata (where Verizon CO is located) and Knollcrest Ln. (where the fiber run is to end.) According to Google, it is approximately 10.1 miles, which equates to approximately 53,328 ft. Because this is more than the 35,000 stated earlier, is this where the splitters come in to amplify the signal? Stonestreet Rd. appears to be 58,080 from the CO. I'm just curious, I'm grasping at straws here
LaPlata CO address:
6205 CRAIN HWY
LA PLATA, MD 20646

I called the Verizon # from the earlier post and they promised that Olivers Shop Rd. would have the FIOS in 6 weeks - I so want that to be true!
