How many years did it take for FiOS to come to where you live after it was announced that Verizon had it coming?
I live in an town with over 1,000 people and with surrounding towns with more people, i have been living here for over 10 years and need to know how long i can expect it to take them to bring FiOS to me, Verizon is the only phone company where i live, they are the only ones who can offer broadband here at the moment unless i find a way to start a local cable company that provides something so we no longer have to rely on verizon here.
I live in a growing community that could benafit from fiberoptics, not to mention that satalite sucks and limits people so its not worth getting here.
I would get wireless for broadband but they limit the hell out of you just for going over some stupid limit of 5 gigs, which i see as **bleep**.
So what do i have to do?
Contact my local congress or get a petition signed to get things moving here?
I see people move here a lot but then they do not stay living here long cause of a lack of conveniences like good communications technology, high speed is a needed thing in this day and age, internet is, but dial up is too slow where i live and satalite is a limited joke.. so is wireless.
Since their is no seeing DSL ever come to where i live, my hopes lie with Verizon or me taking action myself.

There are SO many factors that go into FiOs being offered! Verizon plans to have so much fiber strung in North America that if that meteor comes from outer space & hits here it will bounce off! But that’ll take a while….
Some of the things that hold up your FiOs deployment:
City Council
State Regulators
Physical Barriers (rivers roads, etc)
Home Owner’s Associations
Market-place & competitive considerations
There will never be an advanced “who’s next” list as it would be sales suicide, the competing service would just offer a free year and Verizon would not get enough sales to support the expense of deployment, those areas are a carefully guarded secret. But when a door-hanger shows up on your door knob one happy day, you’re really close!
