I live in NJ and have not been able to get an answer to my request as to when FiOS is going to be installed in my neighborhood.  You would think that Verizon would have some schedule for installing their system especially since they advertise FiOS so aggresively.  It's not like I live in the middle of nowhere.  Is ther someone out there that has access to a FiOS installation timeline for areas in New Jersey?

We don't have access to such systems/information beside your local news announcements. Contacting corp. would most likely get you a better answer.

In 2005 there was no way of knowing and everyone was following the trucks with orange conduit being put in the ground. I just went into the web site daily and asked to be notified once I saw the fiber being pulled in my neighborhood. I guess I was annoying and one day they said yes. I think I was one of the first in Germantown, Maryland. If you know many people in your area that want FIOS get them to do the same. More demand perhaps gets a quicker response. It took another six or more months before they would provision anyone else in my neighborhood, so i guess I was like a beta user.

Please do your research before you switch.  I switched from Cablevision and will be switching back in seven months when my contract ends.  There are issues with the TV service, the internet service and the customer service in general.  The commercails are misleading and if you read through the posts on these forums, I am not alone.

what kind of company doenst know where they will be scheduling to install fios?   why do all of you verizon employees not have a clue?

someone has to know where they will be installing next because you have to buy the materials and hire the contractors way ahead of time.  

Am I missing something?  Why do they keep it a secret from you??

  Verizon is protecting their rights. If the competition knew they were getting ready to promote FIOS in a given area, the competition would flood that market area with flyers and specials that promote their service and require a commitment. Look at it this way. Even if the competition knew FIOS was building out in a given area, they are going to hold out the best deals until the very last minute. This has been discussed may times. All a user can do is continually go to theVerizon site and ask for availablity and to be notified. There have been some limited releases of schedules in certain areas, but Verizon will promote availability when convenient for them. Usually the areas that are released to the public, are areas that Verizon needed to get a franchise agreement with the local government and that is public knowledge anyway. If Verizon had no comeptition then I am sure they would post schedules on bill boards. In my book there is no competition, unless cable companies were the do FTTH. Smiley Happy
