I can imagine! :)
There are things to consider for those who have not yet signed up.
Part of the purpose with fiber is to partly deregulate their local loop.
(Which is the wiring done between the local Central Office and your
building.)
By implementing fiber they no longer need to share the bandwidth with others.
They will in fact as part of their installation requirement move your phone
service to the fiber, or not install it at all.
We can see how they have all but stopped servicing the local loop while
preparing to replace it with fiber.
I'm curious to see anyone who had cable to see what Verizon said about it,
when you asked for fiber and they found out about the cable. FIOS is such a
big strategic move by Verizon I'm sure they are going gangbusters to remove
competition.
Cable meanwhile, claim to be able to deliver the same bandwidth already, or
soon.
