Seems Verizon is serious about having 1 million homes connected to the net via fiber with up to 30 MPS connections. I am standing on top of my chair saying, wire me up. They are set to rollout the service later this summer. Slashdot has some really good discussion on this. [Slashdot] [News.com]

Verizon Challenges Cable With Fiber TV

Verizon Challenges Cable With Fiber TV 04/18/2005 06:02 PM
Verizon on Monday touted its FiOS television service as "a compelling alternative" to cable TV. However, the company has a major roadblock ahead: laws. Currently, to offer any kind of video across its fiber networks, the law stipulates that Verizon would have to obtain a second franchise from local authorities.

Verizon to offer 30mb/2mb fiber

Thanks to Neowin subscriber RDX1 for the heads up in BPN!

Fashonistas love to flaunt their prada shoes. Rappers pile on the bling until thier sparkle is blinding. Corporate honchos throw parties with ice sculptures that pee vodka. So what do geeks do to establish their place on the food chain? They boast about their fat broadband connections.

But the pricey 1.5Mbps connections are looking mighty foolish in Keller, Texas these days. That's where Verizon first introduced its fibre to the premises (fttp) broadband service, and its hardly an emblem of privilege for the grossly wealthy. Instead, residents are capable of pulling down an astonishing 5mbps for as low as $35 per month.

Verizon is delivering these truly decadent speeds using fiber-optic cables that transmit voice, data, and video. And the company tells us that speed isn't the only advantage offered by fiber-optic transmission. Unlike cable, bandwith isn't shared among customers, and unlike DSL, you don't have to be close to the central office to get optimal performance.

Verizon is calling its service Fios (pronounced FYE-ose, an incantation we've confirmed doesn't open a portal to hell), and is already expanding its service to California and Florida. The pricing scheme, which the company tells us is not merely an introductory offer, touts 5mbps/2mbps (downstream/upstream) for $40 a month as a standalone package or $35 a month as part of a local and/or long-distance calling plan. You'll also be able to get a 15mbps/2mbps connection for $45 a month as part of a calling package or $50 a month stand alone. Pricing for 30mbps/5mbps will be anounced later.

Data service packages include up to nine e-mail accounts with 30 mb of storage for the primary account and 10 mb for each sub-account, an address book and calender, 10 mb of personal web space, a web site building tool and access to news groups.

Verizon Admits It Plans To Sell Fiber
Access To Other ISPs 03/14/2005 05:27 PM
While Verizon has been threa tened to withhold fiber if the FCC forced them to share lines, that doesn't mean they're against selling those lines. Verizon has admitted (via Broadband Reports) that they're in discussions with various ISPs about offering them access to the lines. The article makes it sound like no one expected this to happen -- but that's not true. A lot of people expected them to have this option, but to price it at ridiculous rates that had little to do with the actual costs. The problem was never that Verizon didn't want to sell access to fiber lines -- just that they didn't want the government setting the price.

Well one thing Verizon should do is to have a database of customers whose husbands are Editors with a national tech magazine that is read by every early adopter and clued in geek in the nation. My company has a VIP marker in our customer database not to say we don't take care of all of our customers but VIP calls get routed to me.

I have had my fair share of issues with customer service people, but it is amazing the response you get when you plead your case as high in the food chain as possible with a written letter delivered by registered mail. I am not going to spoil the story for you as you actually are getting a 2 for 1 deal here [ZDNet]
