Verizon FIOS?

[Sarduci]

I don't know about your state but in NJ the cable companies have exclusive license to delivery wired television by township, so when Verizon wants to enter that market they need to go to each township and negotiate a license. While that process is going on, they can wire up your neighborhood in preparation. In my part of town there is no underground wiring, everything is on poles, and every 2nd or 3rd pole has a FIOS repeater such as you describe. I would just call them every two weeks or so and inquire...do not wait for them to call you as their marketing department is horrible and you'll wait forever.

Its well worth it though. FIOS HDTV and interet are life-changing.

Me: Hey Random Verizon Installer Guy who is in my back yard!
VG: Yeah?
Me: So when can I get FIOS service on this side of town?
VG: Uh, we don't have any plans to bring it to Wisconsin.
Me: Get the hell off my lawn before I throw sunflower seeds at you and watch the squirrels gnaw your face off.....
VG: Uh?
Me: *makes threating move with a bag of bird seed*
