Coming from where? According to our online Verizon reps, the distance is too far. I hope its true, I could really use some bandwidth in my home office. Thanks for calling and keep us posted.
FiOS coming to La Plata !

- Start date

Can you ping me now? Good
Ya ....Too far. The other problem is the majority of Oliver Shop road is fed from Hughesville CO which has no FiOS equipment and none is planned for install in 2009.

bfncbs1, i just got the doortag on my door saturday saying the FIOS Network installation in my neighborhood was coming soon. 
My question is, how long after they install the fiber optics and what not will the service become available? Thanks! Im off of Bensville Road in Waldorf aka rout 229, about 1½ miles from 228/Berry Road... Peace

As a general rule its 60-90 days. I have seen them quicker though and a few that have taken longer.
It just depends on workload.

Well the marks I believe are only good for 10 days so it would have to be sometime before that.
If they marked it will be very very soon.

I didn’t understand why Fios would head down Penns Hill Rd instead of Oliver Shop Rd since it appears there are more potential customers on and off of the Olivers Shop Rd area. Then I heard it’s because a county commissioner lives off of Penns Hill Rd. Just when I had my hopes up.

Oliver Shop Road is mainly fed from Hughesville and not La Plata. Since Hughesville is not a FiOS planned office Oliver Shop Road wouldn't be included in the plans.
Penns Hill is La Plata so it was going to get FiOS. Well most of Penns Hill will.
It looks like they went past Knollcrest and went down to Marcus one street away from Stonestreet Rd. Waaaaaaaaaah!!!. I want internet now!!!!!

Hmm they dug up my entire street, but not my yard or the house next to mine, the house next to me is for sale and has been on the market for a year.
Why would they not dig my yard up? They stopped at my neighbors (where people are currently living opposite of the house for sale) 3 days ago and havent been back grrrr Not sure if it matters or not but im a corner lot *shrug*

Directional boring........Not every yard gets dug up. Most yards look untouched.
The yards that get touched are the ones where they place the caskets(small gray box). I wouldn't be concerned.
When they come to bury it to your house they will dig up your yard then.
They went past Knollcrest Ln? Marcus is like 600 ft from Stonestreet Rd! There is no way they can blow us off now. We MUST be on the April construction schedule!!
