Re: When will Verizon FIOS be coming to [YOUR TOWN NAME HERE]?

["Randy Cole" <user=55@nabble.blu.org>]

 They wired my street, using Verizon trucks and (apparently) employee 
union labor.  Also, they had a detail cop from Waltham because they 
couldn't get a local one!  Then they waited nine months after wiring 
before selling the service.  Can you say deep pockets? 

They are not just cherry-picking affluent communities, they also want 
communities that are relatively dense and easy to wire.  Plymouth would 
probably be lower than average density.  Somerville is probably 
expensive to wire and has narrow streets and traffic making things slower.
