That is disturbing to me - I am in a copper only DSL area of Verizon's service. I was hoping to eventually get FIOS, as no cable vendor serves my area. Now I guess I will have to hope that LTE comes to my DirectTV eventually or that a cable company decides to serve this area. I am beginning to wonder exactly what business Verizon is in - they want to get out of copper and are abandoning FIOS, so the only consumer product left is their Wireless cellphone business.
We've had connection issues with our DSL service for over two months. It disconnects at the same time almost every day for 5-90 minutes. Verizon is working on it.
When the tech came to check wiring, switch, etc., he told me that the trunk line from town is fiber even though the neighborhood isn't connected, so we can't get FIOS. He told me that it's the same where he lives--fiber to the area, but neighborhoods not connected. He has DSL and DirecTV, just like we do.
Verizon may be finished with the main FIOS installation, but they're not doing the last mile or so. Do neighborhoods and small towns have to get their own connections through cooperation of all the residents? Ha! Fat chance!
