i doubt you will ever see fios in st marys county

What? No way. I asked the verizon repair guy about FIOS (that's what the bumper sticker on his truck said: "As me about FIOS" and he said it would be in my area (California) in two years. Of course, that was over 5 years ago, but hey, any day now. Any day...

You guys in St. Mary's won't get FiOS until I get it. So if you petition to have me hook up with FiOS we can work out a deal :)

Nuttin for St. Marys this year .....Hughesville is a go for FiOS later this year.

Sorry Grass Hopper but you are wrong HL C.O. is being outfitted for a Double Play on Greenfields only. (phone and internet for laypersons) No video, no Wirecenter overlay. It takes 6 months to equip a C.O. for a double play at 20K a pop. Video is much more expensive and money is riding on Verizon to sell off the landline side of the company anyway during the up coming strike in August. And yes Fiber Optics are landlines. Just ask anybody in West VA. It is best to remain quiet and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.:killingme I hope you're management.:yahoo:

Can you say "Wireless 4G LTE". That's the only thing you're going to get. But hey, don't knock it until you've tried it. FTTCS (Fiber To The Cell Site) is going to be amazing! And I'll be unemployed. Pay your taxes, my unemployment benefits depend on it!

I have a couple of Verizon 4G LTE adapters that I use in my travels to client sites and they work amazingly well.

Do you expect the La Plata/Hughsville area to get 4G LTE sometime in the future?

Yes. At&t is placing orders left and right for Hi-Cap circuits at cell sites as we speak to support thier 4G network. The broadband they are requesting demands fiber fed cell sites and I'm sure they're footing at least part of the bill. As soon as the fiber build (to cell sites) is complete, VZ wireless will coincedently roll out thier 4G network. Just a matter of timing. Wink, Wink.

:whistle:

Another 18 hour day today for me, saving for the strike! I was called in to the North Beach CO at 2:11AM, then covered Hughesville, Mechanicsville, Baden, Brandywine, Waldorf, Bryans Road and Indian Head the rest of the day (the last 3 are my normal CO's).

Wise decision. This could be the 'Big' one. But don't work too hard, save something for the goofballs to screw up. I'm set for a couple months, long enough to work on my resume.:yay:

BFNCBS Need your help

Nuttin for St. Marys this year .....Hughesville is a go for FiOS later this year.

You live near me [on sycamore rd] and suggested that I get Edvo for service, because that is what you use. I googled it and it sounds great compared to Hughesnet. Would you be able to tell me what I need to order to get the internet service from them?

BFNCBS1 - Please help

FiOS and the 1x8 splitter won't be approved until next year and even after approval it will be a while since from a cost perspective it doesn't make sense for now.

Dubois Rd? What end of Dubois because on the side near route 6 DSL is available.

LTE? Still a unknown from a pricing and cap level. The cap will be raised be to what level I don't know. Pricing? I have no clue but should be comparable to EVDO.

As far as Hughesnet goes I dumped them years ago solely on poor technical support and latency that was always around 800-900ms. I chose EVDo even with the small cap just because of the latency alone and semi decent tech support. Satellite is the biggest ripoff out there with the huge upfront cost, monthly cost and poor service. Hope something works out for you.



Would you be able to help me order what I need? Is what you advised in the thread above still good? Is there a better option? Do we stand to ever get FIOS near us?

Would you please tell me what I need to purchase to get Edvo? Is it something I need to get an installer to put in? I want whatever is needed to get the best signal and speed that I can. Would you please help?

Here is a link that might help.

What is EVDO / Mobile Broadband? : 3Gstore.com, 3G/4G Routers, Antennas, Amplifiers, WiFi, Verizon & Sprint Data Cards

Also depending on what kind of signal you get, I would go to your Verizon or Sprint Store and check on equipment from them. Not sure of your area but Verizon is best for me. But I am lucky, since I have Metrocast.
