This article was posted in DSLReports. Thought you guys who didn’t catch this over at that site might want to read it for some possible Fiber deployments in other markets, thanks to Verizon giving Frontier a couple hundred thousand FiOS customers as part of the sell out. Look at the bottom of the article.

Verizon has stated that they will NOT come to Rochester.

They probably did not want to upset this sale, and probably have some kind of non-competition clause.

We can only hope!

I would love to see FIOS come to my neighborhood. Then I cold really feel as though I could vote caps down with my $$$.

If only TWC put out an poll “Would you dump us if we offered you less internet for more dollars?” and heeded the results instead of waiting the deadly aneurysm of customers.

While we’re in the minority of the impacted customers, those of us in the SUBURBS of Portland, OR and Seattle, WA have just been screwed. Bye-bye, FiOS, it was great knowing you! And hello, Comcrap :p

Wow. If they have that kind of money laying around, then what is taking them so long to upgrade what they have in Rochester ?
