Pegster Posted June 27, 2005 CID Share Posted June 27, 2005 The Verizon contracted people are drilling out my sidewalk to lay the fiber as we speak! I don't even mind all the noise! LOL They said I could get service by the end of the year but that sounds like a CYA thing. That's 6 months from now! What has been everyone's experience in time of fiber lay in street to actual FIOS service? TIA Pegster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiosFiend Posted June 27, 2005 CID Share Posted June 27, 2005 My experience was pretty good. They started laying fiber in my neighborhood some time in April. They started sending out the packages for service the first week of June. I signed up and got installed on June 22nd. So I'd say it was 2 months from the first trucks in my neighborhood until I was on Fios. Here are my posted speeds as of today. :::..

Fenix6372 Posted August 20, 2005 CID Share Posted August 20, 2005 I'd say about a month or two from my experience. I saw the signs about the "Fiber to the Premise" a couple of weeks before they actually started working on my street, then a couple of weeks after they were gone I was finally able to get my piece of internet heaven Welcome to the forums Pegster, I know the wait must be absolutely KILLING you muwahahaha..... Don't worry, it is DEFINETLY DEFINETLY DEFINETLY worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
