pentrix2 Posted March 30, 2005 CID Share Posted March 30, 2005 Anyone know when they will put FIOS in Baltimore, Maryland (zip code: 21223) I am in dying need of this fast service. I also run a network from my home with vpn passthrough, mail server and web server. Anyone know they allow this or has blocked out these ports?

FallenDeathAngel Posted March 31, 2005 CID Share Posted March 31, 2005 yes I think they have, but Im almost positive they have some type of business package exactly for this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syon Posted July 18, 2005 CID Share Posted July 18, 2005 I live in bmore too, 21236. Don't know if we'll ever get FIOS out here ~.~ No one at Verizon says anything, and i run tests from all over this area, but to no avail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb62787 Posted July 18, 2005 CID Share Posted July 18, 2005 Hello I live in 21222 (dundalk / baltimore city) and verizon is currently testing out FIOS in Baltimore. It will most likely will be up by early next year or by New Year's 2007. If you like to know the prices for FIOS its.... $39.95 for 5 Mbps Down / 2 Mbps Up $49.95 for 15 Mbps Down / 2 Mbps Up <-------Best Value $199.95 for 30 Mbps Down / 5 Mbps Up All prices are of the monthly billing. If you have Verizon Freedom and / or Directv service through Verizon , you will get $5 off the $39.95 and $49.95 packages and $20 off the $199.95 package. If you like more information on how to get Verizon FIOS , please go to http://www22.verizon.com/FiosForHome/channels/Fios/HighSpeedInternetForHome.asp and enter your phone # to get up-to-date info on when Verizon FIOS will be available in the Baltimore Metropolitan Area. People in Montgomery County get the service first because its a rich , highly populated , and also many federal workers live in Montgomery County .

pentrix2 Posted July 19, 2005 Author CID Share Posted July 19, 2005 This sucks big time. I had a feeling they will do the wealthier counties. I know for a fact they got Silver Spring, Maryland. By a year or 2 I hope cable (mainly comcast) cost will get lower and faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb62787 Posted July 19, 2005 CID Share Posted July 19, 2005 Its not mainly for the wealthy . People who work for the NSA and CIA live in Montgomery County so they need the fastest connection available. Everyone will have it by 2006 or 2007 and believe me ppl who are with comcast will cancel their service when FIOS comes out . Currently its $53 a month for 6Mbps /768Kbps with comcast. When FIOS comes out , it will be 15Mbps / 2Mbps for $8 cheaper with Verizon Freedon at a price for FIOS at $45. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syon Posted July 19, 2005 CID Share Posted July 19, 2005 If we have to wait till late 06/early 07, comcast will have something comparable to 15/2 available. And they're not stupid, they know they will have to compete with FIOS. They've gotta be working on more than just the 8/768 that is coming. For now i'll just grab up the 8/768 in bmore when it comes out. I heard it will be available from the whitemarsh/parkville/towson hub areas by mid-august, probably sooner. While other people say July 20th, and still others say late august... so we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbaker397 Posted July 19, 2005 CID Share Posted July 19, 2005 cable should have at least 15/2 by 07. in 08 DOCSIS 3.0 will become available, or at leeast start being deployed. Those are speeds like 200Mbps+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pentrix2 Posted July 19, 2005 Author CID Share Posted July 19, 2005 My Yahoo Messenger name is, Pentrix2 If at a point it becomes 200+ mbps available then it's like a T3 line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted July 19, 2005 CID Share Posted July 19, 2005 T3 is 45Mbps last I checked... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pentrix2 Posted July 19, 2005 Author CID Share Posted July 19, 2005 My bad. You're right T3's are 45mbps. In this case it would be considered an OC3. But I would love to get an OC192 though. Hehehehehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbaker397 Posted July 19, 2005 CID Share Posted July 19, 2005 See, you people look at those OC192-OC256 and all of the others and start drooling. I did too, until I realized no residential computer in the world can write data to a hard drive at speeds of however many Gbps it is.

pentrix2 Posted July 19, 2005 Author CID Share Posted July 19, 2005 True that, only a large enterprise with thousands of servers would benefit from this rich bandwidth. The last I checked for a T3 was $190,000 per month but cost may have went down. Now for OC192-256, how much are the cost for these circuits anyways?

ajb62787 Posted July 19, 2005 CID Share Posted July 19, 2005 Well Comcast has a Gigabit internet in the works at the time. The science of it is compression of data. The smaller the file is compressed , the faster it will go. The Gigabit internet should probably run about $400 a month . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillwaitingin08 Posted June 17, 2008 CID Share Posted June 17, 2008 Well its June 2008, and FiOS still isn't available in 21222, Baltimore Co. Maryland. Anyone have any idea when we get to go fast too?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb62787 Posted June 19, 2008 CID Share Posted June 19, 2008 I have read through a timeline somewhere based on Verizon FIOS in the Baltimore Metro Area and here is the timeline 2006 - Southern Baltimore County, Northern Anne Arundel County, most of Southwestern Baltimore County (around Arbutus and Catonsville) 2007 - Southwest, Western and Northwest Baltimore (around Owings Mills) 2008 - Northern Baltimore County (Hunt Valley, Timonium) This does not include the Hereford Zone most likely, Parts of Northeast Baltimore County (around the beltway area Perring Parkway and Belair Road) 2009 - Most of Northeastern Baltimore County (Rosedale, White Marsh) 2010 - Rest of Northeastern Baltimore County, Most of Eastern Baltimore County ( Essex, Middle River) 2011 - Rest of Eastern Baltimore County, Most of Southeastern Baltimore County (Dundalk, Sparrows Point) 2012 - Rest of Southeastern Baltimore County. So long story short, Verizon decided to build the FIOS infrastructure from Southern Baltimore County to Southeast Baltimore County to avoid the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
