I'm in a rural area, and the only thing I've had access to the past 17 years is the slowest internet possible (dialup until 2010, now 3mb DSL). A Verizon tech on the 800 number swore to me the that this area was being mapped for FIOS in December. Now, I said "I'll believe it when I see it." Well, I actually saw some outfit installing a fiber line on this road in January. Yet, it's May and I still can't get hooked up to the damn thing!?!? Last time I called, they knew nothing. Hell, I called the local Verizon repair guy I deal with on a regular basis in February and he didn't even know they put a fiber line up. How do I find somebody that knows what the hell is going on? Odds are they're going to hook up everyone eventually so they can shutdown the copper, but I want 150mb fiber now, not 6 months or a year from now.
