I'm getting ready to make the jump to Verizon DSL/phone service.
I was hoping someone could answer me this:

I live in St Mary's off Chancellor's Run Road, I had heard about an upgrade in DSL from 3 to 7Mbps. The Verizon lady I talked to today said 7Mbps wasn't available yet in my area and she didn't have a timeline as to when it would happen.
Does anyone have any insider info as to when the upgraded speed will be available here?
Thanks in advance!

How can they get to Budds Creek Road, but they still haven't even gotten all the way down Penns Hill Road... That makes not sense...

11 miles from the CO.....That is the distance for FiOS. Going Straight down 301 has to be close to the same as going down route 6 is my guess.

Been waiting to talk to the engineer to find out more but he is on vacation this week.

When you do, please when they will take Fios into the developments off of Oliver Shop Road. Several homes on Oliver Shop are already online but they haven't started any construction into the developments.

Thanks

The majority of the homes off of Oliver Shop are fed from the Hughesville CO which doesn't have FioS and no plans to add FiOS this year.

Very few homes on Oliver Shop will see FiOS anytime soon.

There are at least 10 homes between Route 6 and Grosstown Road which are already hooked up and online.

Don't doubt that......Just past crescent run is where it should stop.......Grosstown road is Hughesville. It won't go any further.

Still wondering about this, have you been able to talk to him?

I'm getting so sick of my Wireless Broadband connection, simply sucks that FIOS stops about 2 miles short of my house...

Still don't see Stonestreet Rd. on there either. But I did notice that the fiber continues past Stonestreet Rd. further down on Penns Hill Rd. It now appears that Stonestreet Rd. has been completely surrounded by fiber.

I think now that Fios is coming into Charles, Verizon has completely forgotten about their other customers with High Speed Verizon connections, we have been going round and round with them for over 2 and a half weeks with our internet service at home. DW had called about the Freedom Plan with them, but then after chatting with the rep on the phone for awhile, she says she can make our connection faster, so we upgrade to a IM/768K Annual Plan, will take affect in about 3 days, 3 days come and we cant connect to the internet. Call tech support, she cant help us because the business office is closed on weekends, get through finally on Monday, rep says that our area doesnt support 768K so she will have a work order made up for the change back, will take 48 hours and we will get call when its done, we get call Friday evening its complete, able to connect, then Saturday we get another call and they say it will be Monday before we are connected DW tells them that we are connected, guy says you shouldnt be and that we wont have connection rest of the weekend and we didnt, DW vented on this guy and he said to call the business office on Monday, after I got home from work yesterday we went out to eat to clevalleys favorite chinese resturant, and OHG was afraid to ask how her day went with Verizon and ruin a nice dinner.

Just hope all you people hooking into Fios arent sorry down the road with Verizon customer service, cause it sure $ucks.

We had Verizon phone service when we lived in Alexandria. We hated it. We had some major issues with our phone number when we tried to move to Cox for our phone service there. And they did a number of things billing wise to us. Never again will Verizon be our home number service provider. We had them for years for our home phone service too.

We have Verizon wireless for our cell service, everything else is Comcast. We are happy with the cruising speed we've had lately, because everyone has switched to FIOS! :)

A lot of my friends love it, they are in Waldorf and haven't had major issues yet, just email setup issues.

I agree, Verizon customer service is BAD. I tried to call and get my wireless and home bills combined into one bill. Easy, right? Not!! They said it would be applied the next month. Next month came, and nothing. I tried to combine this on three seperate occasions and after waiting a month, nothing. Not the end of the world, I just continue to pay seperate bills. But how hard is it to combine a bill? And after the whole FIOS fiasco with my neighborhood, I am not happy with Verizon right now.
