Verizon plans FiOS service, maybe as soon as Novem

[bfncbs1]

Some progress finally..........Hopefully they can finalize the right away agreement in the next couple of weeks.

Cable law update paves way for more broadband

This much I can tell you....La Plata will see FiOS this year and they will be offering there Triple Play package (data, voice and video). FiOS will go live in La Plata by June 30th. Trust me on this one. 22,000 homes in La Plata will be able to subscribe to FiOS.


Waldorf will go live in October for FiOS with 36,000 homes being able to subscribe.

The bad news for alot of people (especially rural areas around La Plata) they will probably never see FiOS. The best they can hope for is DSL expansion which is basically a prayer.

yeah yeah yeah hehe

Yea yea yea I know........But I forgot who our commissioners are and how slow our cable advisory board is.

they're the worst. I tried to attend the meetings, but they constantly shifted the dates so much that in the end I stopped caring.

So I guess we High Plains Drifters with dial-up have no shot.... Is satellite service our best option? (In Charlotte Hall, St. Mary's)

No chance anytime soon.......


I would avoid satellite at all cost. I would suggest EVDO fron VZ wireless or Sprint. Much better service! Just gotta watch your caps. Both are 5gb a month now.

I've been through the same problem, On top of all that they don't respond to calls or emails either. The whole cable advisory board is a complete joke with a bunch of idiots running it.

Anyone know if they plan to bring it down towards St. Mary's, in the Wildewood/California area (probably not, but just asking)

no one else will be getting FiOS until southern maryland is 100% paved.

If there are less then 50 houses per linier mile, they will not take time to laugh at your direction.
