VERY SOON? What's the ETA on this. It's been about 7 months since this post was started.

My guess would be very soon .... like very soon after 2017 when LaPlata has become 100% Waldorf.

I called MBC (the broadband guys) and they said they'd be running Fiber down rt. 6 a couple months ago (they didn't) (and likely never will) (they haven't even updated their website in a year).

I also talked with a higher up with Comcast who said they were doing a survey in the Dentsville area last Feb. I guess they decided the thousands of homes there didn't need internet.

Fios in La Plata

I was at a Bob Evens this week and noticed that all the Verizon service trucks were in the parking lot. It seems that all the local servicemen and there boss were having a meeting so I asked the boss when La Plata was getting FiOS. He told me that the plan was to start this Oct with the cable running East up Charles St towards 488. He told me that Quailwood where I live will have it at the end of the year at the latest. I didn't ask him about any other areas. I hope this is helpful to some of you. By the way the signal will be 1080i.

This is true, alot of areas in somd will have Fios up and running by the end of the year if not before then. I ve been to the trainings and had the up close and personal experience, it blows anything I ve seen AWAY. They ll be offering bundle packages too.

I'm pretty sure it's not there now. Was wondering if you would happen to know or could find out when it may be there. I'm eager to drop Comcast as I already have Verizon for my internet and phone.

Nope just La Plata and Waldorf. There is nothing slated for St. Mary's or Calvert in 2008.

La Plata and Waldorf will be limited deployments for FiOS. Meaning not too many house's will be passed in 2008.

Plans are for St.Marys early 09 but they offer HSI in certain areas of St.Marys already, I can look at availibility by simply entering in a business thats close by and see what the options are.

I wouldn't say that is confirmed. No offices for 2009 have been finalized. That goes for any city, county or state.

Thanks you are correct, but seeing that I just took a massive sixteen hour training(and have several friends that do the installing) on Fios I am able to say how much it is(bundled) and when it will be available in a specific area.
