curious as to why fios isnt avialble at my address, but it is avilable not that far away from me. less than a mile about a half mile all around me. and hasnt progressed in my little city at all since i moved here 5 years ago. its progressed in more suburb areas 5-15 miles away. i call the people at customer service who explain they dont really know other than "probably" a failed approval or some **bleep**.
to clearify, i live in an aprtment, 3 floors about 30+ units total, 2 buildings.
i asked landlord and maintance if they been in contact with verizon. they called, but they have tried and get same service i got. never been approached by verizon. they want it here, its a selling point that has dragged out business on occassion as some people pick a place based on whats availble where they want to call home,,
i asked a few local businesses, under a half mile away. all have access to fios, not all have fios, but all can definatly sign up. resturant across the street has access to it, but a street seperates me and fios. they been there for over 2 years, all 2 years they had access to fios.
how can fios be so close, and year after year, tax dollar after tax dollar, not budge at all in this area?
2 years, one streets seperating me from fios, same **bleep** from customer service. they state 6-12 months. i called back 3 months after, 6-12 months again.. i asked a neighbor thats been here since 07, she gave up, they told her 6-12 months every time for 2 years. fios has been in my area as i stated for a good while, just not in this exact spot, it surrounds us however. its aggrivating.
my only options as of right now is Comcast or DSL(HSI) from verizon. not high speed at all, its 3.1mb/sec down and 750k/sec up. verizon has blocked other DSL providers and comcast has blocked other broadband(cable).
my biggest issue is, i work alot more at home than i previously did. i cant deal with this. i dont have or use a home phone, not many people i know do either, mostly use cell phone and have a second number in an app or something.
getting too expensive to pay for this crap service.. i wouldnt mind same price for fios connection, but for this connection, im loosing faith in holding out for fios and considering comcast.
