Title: Verizon FIOS
Post by: Black Samurai on March 31, 2005, 08:29:00 AM

Verizon Fios (http://www.verizonfios.com/)

Anyone planning on switching over? They have three different plans of 5/15/30 Mbps. I have Verizon DSL now and I\'m probably going to switch once it becomes available here(in the next couple months).

where do you find out when it will be available in your area?  I guess only the major metros are getting it first?

that\'s what i\'m asking... i\'ve done the availability before and it tells me I qualify for DSL and that FIOS is not available in my area yet.

Is there anywhere that states a timeframe for fios rollout?

When I called the lady who answered said it would be available in my area before the fall.

If you\'ve seen people in your neighborhood digging up everyone\'s yards then you may have it.

You need fiber to your door to be a candidate.
